Free hosting?

[tobyjwebb]

Hi, I saw a TODO saying you are looking for free / cheap hosting.

I know of https://www.freehosting.com (although I've never used them personally). Should be good to show off a static page, but the server-side rendering might be trickier.

Hey!

Thanks for the suggestion. When we rewrite (targeting 2021) the examples and re-think some of the APIs I'll take a look at the potential options for hosting, including this suggestion.

Thanks so much!

For static sites there are lots of good and free options,

• Netlify
• Github pages
• Firebase
• AWS Amplify

With most of those also offering a large number of lambda invocations for free as well.

For actual VPSs digital ocean/linode and vultr are all very good and cheap options.

Just filed an issue myself on this topic (#172). I noticed that Sycamore uses Netlify for their deployment!

I can also try to figure it out myself when I get some time on my hands!

Feel more than free!
