What are the best options for free web app hosting?
Asked by

I'm planning to create a public web app but I'm not looking to invest any money into hosting at this stage. I know Python and am open to learning another programming language if needed. What are some completely free options for hosting my app?

If you're just hosting static files, there are tons of sites you can use. Personally, I like Render, but there are plenty of others that work just as well! Just remember, most free hosts have limits when it comes to server processing, so keep that in mind if your app does heavy lifting.

I suggest you build out your app first. Knowing what it actually needs will help you determine the best hosting solution. Also, if you're familiar with databases, some are free while others come with a cost, so consider what you need there too.

For Python specifically, both Cloudflare and Vercel offer free hosting options. They have features catering to Python apps, which can be really helpful. Here are some links to get you started:
- Vercel's Python Docs: vercel.com/docs/functions/runtimes/python
- Cloudflare Workers Python Support: developers.cloudflare.com/workers/languages/python/
