Best/Affordable Web Hosting site for my first & simple passion project

Hi, so I’m quite new to Web development. It’s been around 2 months since I’ve started on this journey, and for my first project I’m trying to build a cool survey for a game I really like. I’ve already purchased a domain name, I just need somewhere to host it, it’s not finished yet (building it in VS Code, but I’d love to share my progress with my friend, I’ve found there’s a lot of options for hosting, and I was wondering what you all recommended. Thanks!

If it is a static site try: Netlify, Github Pages, Cloudflare Pages.

If it is more fullstack (meaning you have a back-end): then try Adaptable, AlwaysData, or Qoddi. I believe these services come with a database (postgres). Though its been a while since I last checked (things may have changed).

Other sites: Fly.io, Railway.app, Digital Ocean, Azure, AWS

Vercel.com is another good host if you are familiar with Next.js then vercel is probably your best choice.

I am not too familiar, but I believe you can host a database via firebase or supabase - these services kinda act as a back-end as well.
