Which host should you choose for your project?
Feb 15, 2024 · 1 min read
Finding the right host for your project’s needs can sometimes be tricky, so here’s a very simple guide to help you make that choice.
Where to start?
It seems obvious to start this guide with the most important criterion: price.
- Price
- Desired performance
- Storage capacity
- Hosting duration (discounts possible for longer terms)
When you have a budget!
I recommend prioritizing “paid” hosts which, as you might expect, generally offer a quality of service and uptime noticeably better than free hosts.
We love it when it’s free!
That said, like any good developer, I have plenty of side projects and really don’t want to pay for hosting on each one, so here’s the list of free services I use.
- Github Pages
- Vercel
- Netlify
- Alwaysdata
- AWS offers a free tier valid for one year from first use.
