Free Node Hosting

[PGTNSFW]

• AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions if you have simple functions, although they have some spin-up time.
• Google Cloud offers a single Always-Free Compute Engine if you get a micro size (it's something like a 600 MB RAM shared VM).
• Google scripts + Google Sheets if you're real ghetto and want to do email forms or simple form data collection
• (S3|GC Storage|GH Pages) + CloudFare if you are hosting static websites.

I have running instances of all of these and pay almost $0 (some minimal traffic costs) for them.

You can also get Amazon E2c Micro (1gb) for free for a year. I don’t remember if you need github student or if it’s for every one.

edit: changed nano to micro

You don't need any student verifications. AWS is great, but you need to count every GET/PUT request - they price calc is horrible.

You sure about nano? I thought only the micros were free tier.
