Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a hosting solution for a CRUD website that will only feature simple text and images. My main goals are to keep it fast, efficient, and lightweight while also being free. I've come across platforms like Netlify, Firestore, Heroku, and AWS free tiers, but I'm concerned about the potential for unexpected costs if my site grows. Is there a genuinely free option out there for hosting, or at least something that's affordable in the long run? I'd really appreciate your insights! Thanks!

Consider getting a VPS – Racknerd offers deals that can be worth checking out. Also, Oracle has a free forever tier that might be suitable, although it won't handle heavy traffic. Just be cautious!
I haven’t seen many services out there that offer a solid backend for free. You might want to look into a JAMstack serverless architecture, which can be free if you stay within certain usage limits.
It's tough to find something that's completely free without eventual costs. Most services offer free tiers, but expect that if your site gets popular, you’ll eventually have to pay for it. Things like electricity and bandwidth are never free long-term!
There's no real way to guarantee unlimited free traffic without some kind of payment plan involved. Remember, if you aren’t paying, the risk of the service vanishing increases significantly.
You can’t have everything you want. Remember, CRUD needs a database. Fast and free hosting generally comes with limitations. If you're tech-savvy, self-hosting the database might open up some free options for you!
