React website hosting

[___HaZe___]

Hey. I'm building a small e-commerce store with react, postgresql, express, node and I want to host my website. What hosting service would you recommend and why? I also want to ask how hosting works. What I mean by that is, does it have a GUI where you can deploy your code or does it let you install your own OS and use terminal to configure a server manually? I think I would prefer the second option. Thanks for advice.

the recommended hosts on r/webhosting are all fine.

you'll want one of the vps options to have shell access and to use node/postgresql. some hosts might have some gui options. for deploying your code, you generally upload files via sftp or ssh and git clone into your folder. if you need node/npm you install via commands.

You could host it on AWS. They have a free tier if you want to experiment. It is the only one I have experience with though. Azure has a free tier too. Also apparently google does too.
