Hello Devs,

In 2020, I struggled with hosting services. I didn't have a credit card. Hope you all relate to this when it comes to hosting just a basic React application or a backend API. So I just stuck to localhost and random workarounds for a long time.

A few years later, I got into self-hosting and set up a home lab using a Raspberry Pi. That actually taught me more than any cloud platform did.

Now I’m trying to take that idea a bit further by making a simple, no-friction hosting setup that people can use without worrying about cards or lock-ins.

But before going too far with it, I wanted to ask:

How are you guys currently hosting your projects as students or beginners?

- Are you using free tiers?

- Self-hosting?

- Or just avoiding deployment altogether?

Genuinely curious what the common approach is right now.
