    Free tier cloud services like AWS, GCP, Oracle Cloud, and Azure. I use free tier VMs to host random services like VPNs, Mastodon instance, etc.

    Tailscale has a free tier to connect your devices, VMs, and home servers.

    GitHub pages is great for hosting any simple website for free.

        AWS & Azure don’t offer free VMs but they offer other always free cloud services. I use Oracle Cloud’s Always Free VMs which are great. You can get two AMD-based compute VMs and one Arm-based compute VM with 24GB of RAM. I’ve been using them for nearly 2 years now. GCP also has a more basic always free VM offering.

      Don’t forget about cloudflare. With their free caching and cdn a well optimized site can run for barely anything. With GitHub actions and pages you can have a fully static site hosted completely for free.
