I'm curious about the implications of hosting a website for free using Vercel for the front end, Render for the back end, and Neon for the database on free plans. I expect to get around 5,000 visitors per month. Are there any potential issues I should be aware of? Do these free plans have limitations on traffic or performance?

For 5,000 visitors a month, the free plans on Vercel, Render, and Neon might just manage to hold up, but keep in mind there are strict limits on things like bandwidth, connection requests, and database connections. Once you hit those limits, your website could slow down or even crash. If it were me, I'd consider starting with a paid option, even a basic shared hosting plan, and scale as your traffic grows. I've been using NixiHost for years, and it’s been reliable for everything from small sites to larger projects.
I've heard great things about NixiHost too; I'm seriously looking into them!
