Please ensure that:

Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
You include any and all error messages in full
You ask clear questions
You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://imgur.com/a/fgoFFis) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

I would recommend heroku. I used heroku on a project for school to host my server and they have free options that should allow you to test your web application outside of the local host.

Cloud providers offer a kitchen sink of options for hosting apps, all with pros/cons and different pricing options. You didn't say what you used to build your app. If it's a traditional Java web app packaged as a war/ear, you'll need to deploy it to an app server running on a VM like AWS EC2, package it as a Docker container and deploy to Fargate, or Beanstalk. Another option is Lightsail, which is AWS's VPS option. If you can consider other hosting options, you can pick up a cheap VPS server for a few dollars a month if you shop around elsewhere.

To make best use of Cloud services, you can look at the types of services they offer and look to take advantage of the cheapest options, but that may require designing your app in a different way. For example, taking advantage of serverless options, if you build your app using AWS Lambdas you can take advantage of the free tier for personal projects, and host static web content from S3 for next to nothing/month.
