My Favourite Free Hosting Services (And How to Deploy on Them)
Looking to host your website online but don’t have the cash to pay for a hosting service 💸?
Here are two great services that will help you get started without a subscription 😝!

1- Netlify 📈
Netlify labels itself as a “web developer platform that multiplies productivity”.
Essentially, Netlify is a git-based web hosting platform that is optimised for speed, helping developers to build, test and deploy with as little maintenance as possible. I personally believe it’s best-suited for hobby projects and static websites, although Netlify supports projects of almost all shapes and sizes.
Similar to a cloud model, Netlify is free up to a certain limit under the “Starter” package. However, this limit is more than enough if you’re just starting out and are running low on cash. And if you ever need to scale, you won’t need to switch platform either because Netlify is an extremely scalable faster and will maintain that same super-sonic speed!
