What is your recommended hosting platform?

I'm making a website+backend (react, c# + small sql db + discordjs bot) for a friends gaming community and would like to host it "soon".

Check out netlify. They have free hosting for dynamic sites, though it's more like a CI/CD thing so no persistence by default

But they do seem to offer a db service too

@atheist God dayum their always free tier is juicy

@jestdotty You can run a dynamic site but your files are wiped on each build I believe

I use Contabo, it's pretty cheap because it has comparatively low availability (99%)

@tamagotchi yeah he gave me a female YouTuber who codes but they weren't even female -.-

still bitter about that whoops lmao. I got excited. I feel like he stole part of my soul lying to me like that. not cool. probably unreliable narrator...

@tamagotchi Hetzner decided (in 30 minutes including the appeal and rejection) that I'm not similar enough to my passport photo, so I'm not allowed to do business with them.

@tamagotchi I have to believe via AI given the pace.

Localhost is quite popular. I hear many folks are using it. Needs some manual tweaking, but runs quite ok. And it's free. And the latency is unmatched

Thanks for all the suggestions, much appreciated.

@netikras Yo check out my new site I built: https://127.0.0.1:8080/cool.php

@12bitfloat wow, nice pics! Are they yours?
