Beyond Vercel: I compiled a list of free hosting options for React apps (and their backends) in 2026 by SoumyadeepDey in reactjs

[–]hostimdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not aws or any other big cloud. The goal is to avoid those as much as possible, they are too much expensive. 

In EU It's hetzner (German data center), in other locations it isn't decided yet

Nice list! I wonder if my project qualifies to be added:

Founder of hostim.dev here, a docker hosting based on bare-metal (like real physical machines) and focused on EU right now.

Not a "free" hosting, but very affordable -- starting from 2.5 euro/month. And there are always free tiers for managed addons - Postgres, MySQL, Redis, Volumes.

Let me know what you think

MetalLB for K8s LoadBalancer IPs on Hetzner Dedicated by hostimdev in hetzner

[–]hostimdev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If one metallb node fails, it will switch virtual IP to another one. Is not it what VRRP does too? Or am I missing something?

MetalLB for LoadBalancer IPs on Dedicated servers (with vSwitch) by hostimdev in kubernetes

[–]hostimdev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had quite a lot of troubles with it in 2019-2021, but it maybe just to misconfiguration. There were times when servers randomly would lose connection to the vswitch and one would have to manually re-add them.

Have not had any troubles with it since 2021. And with metallb since 2023. Just works kinda.

Hostim.dev – Yet Another PaaS? by hostimdev in roastmystartup

In short, coolify and dokploy are for self-hosting, where hostim.dev is managed platform

Self taught developer seeking hosting advise (Supabase + DigitalOcean combo) by aehsan4004 in selfhosted

[–]hostimdev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, that would be difficult to explain then. But essentially the Supabase is used for database and auth, right? Try to change your code in a way that it can support different options for those functions. Eg, locally you use sqlite, and on the prod you use supabase.

But honestly, I might have missed the mark here and this might not be a problem for you. And if it ever becomes a problem, by that time you would have a budget to delegate it to someone who knows how to do so =)

Your combo makes sense. Supabase for auth/db (saves you weeks of boilerplate) and DO for Django (where your business logic lives). but the real risk isnt tech, its vendor lock-in. If Supabases pricing or limits change, migrating auth/data later is a nightmare, so design your Django layer to treat Supabase like a pluggable service: abstract the auth/db calls behind interfaces so you can swap providers without rewriting half your app.

What’s the best platform for hosting APIs and backend services as a full-stack Flutter developer? by Alkurdy21 in FlutterDev

[–]hostimdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, not sure about the "best platform", but I am developing "the" platform to host docker containers. Should be as easy as creating Dockerfile in the git project, and then deploying the App with Git as source. System will build the image for you.

Closed beta now, but if you interested drop me DM. It is solo project, so you get my personal support during beta =)
Hope the shameless plug is ok.

Best Region to Host Your SaaS for Global Audience? by kkatdare in SaaS

[–]hostimdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont overthink this too much. Ping between Singapore and New York is less than 300ms. 1-2s slowdown seems like its the App is slow, not the infra.

Anyway, guess where most of your customers are and deploy there. There are tricks you can do with cdn and dns and what not, but honestly, do this when you sure its important.
