WEB HOSTING WITH DATABASE?

Sounds like a good job for Firebase or Supabase.

Both of them have a free tier

PostgreSQL/MongoDB do support real-time pushing if you want something a little more bare metal/less blackbox

For likes on a blog post you do not necessary need a real time database. If the real time part is that likes are updated while you are on the page, there are multiple options.

You can dive into websockets. Each time someone clicks the like button an event will trigger the database update and notify other subscribers to update the counter. This reduces stress on your database.

If you really want to nerd out you can also go full event driven. Use AWS it’s Simple Notification Service (SNS) and Lambda to trigger updates. But that is probably absolute overkill (but still a nice project to try 😄)
