I'm working on an app to simplify life for me and my partner. I've got a basic structure set up with a React frontend and a Spring Boot backend, but I'm not sure about the best hosting options. Ideally, I'd like something that's cheap or even free, and I want to make sure it doesn't become inactive. Also, if I choose a free option, how hard is it to manage a VPS in case I want to host multiple projects or create apps for friends or clients later on?

If you want something straightforward, I'd recommend starting by hosting the React frontend on platforms like Vercel or Netlify; both offer free tiers. For your Spring Boot backend and database, you could use services like Render or go for a small VPS. This setup is great for testing, and if your app grows, you can transition to a VPS for more flexibility.
Got it! Do you have any specific VPS providers to suggest?
