I'm trying to set up a website for my productivity app, but I'm on a tight budget. I need a web hosting service that is inexpensive but also includes HTTPS and sufficient security for a payment gateway. As a newbie, I'd really appreciate your recommendations on hosting vendors, what features I should consider, and if there are any additional purchases I need to make. Thanks in advance for your help!

If you're looking for a really cheap option, NixiHost has a great shared hosting plan for about $6 a month. They provide free SSL and have great security for payment gateways, plus their customer support is reliable.
Hostinger is a solid choice if you're looking for something affordable. They offer free SSL, good speed, and it's super beginner-friendly. Just remember to enable backups to keep your site secure.
You might want to check out Oracle Cloud's "Always Free" tier. It's a great way to access resources at no cost. Just search for "Oracle Cloud Free Tier" to get started.
I'd suggest trying FastComet as well. They support HTTPS, let you choose server locations, and their shared hosting plans are pretty affordable. Stripe is a good payment integration since it's secure and you won't have access to client card info.
You could also consider using a Raspberry Pi to host your site, which you can set up with Cloudflared for managing a domain. While it sounds appealing, I'd only recommend this if you expect to have consistent traffic.
