I'm currently working on a full-stack application using Python for the backend and React for the frontend. I'd love to host it somewhere to enhance my resume, and I'm looking for free resources or platforms that are suitable for personal projects. Any suggestions?

You might want to explore Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) options like AWS, GCP, or Azure. For instance, AWS Amplify can handle your frontend, while the backend deployment will depend on your app's specific needs. If you’re just running basic calculations, it can be set up pretty simply without a complex setup.
For my personal projects, I use a VPS from Contabo. I installed Coolify on it to host and auto-deploy projects straight from my GitHub. It's like a free version of Heroku or Netlify and is pretty straightforward to set up—you can find helpful videos and install scripts online. Plus, it's ideal if you're managing multiple projects.
Have you checked out PythonAnywhere? They offer a nice free VM specifically for Python projects. It might be a great fit for your backend.
Consider using Cloudflare Workers for your static assets. They support some Python too, so you could merge your backend into Workers if the codebase allows.
I've been using a free tier VPS from Oracle. It's quite generous and a good option to get started without any costs.
