Here are a few free hosting services you should consider

#1 - InfinityFree

https://infinityfree.net
Free Unlimited Web Hosting for BOTH frontend and backend

It's a good option, and it's way better than 000webhost. Full .htaccess support, and CNAME records, with free SSL certificates

Limitations:

  • 50,000 hits in a day
  • Limited CPU and Inodes

#2 - Profreehost

As per another post,

Netlify is everything you need to build fast, modern websites: continuous deployment, serverless functions, and so much more. ...

  • Deploy static assets & dynamic serverless functions

#4 - Hostman

https://hostman.com
Hostman is a good platform for deploying your app from github

  • Free up to 10 websites
  • Very fast (As far as my experience)

Limitations

  • Static websites only, you need to pay for dynamic sites

#5 - Repl.it

https://repl.it
Repl.it is a very powerful online code editor. It supports a wide variety of languages.

  • You can clone directly from github repository
  • Support forum

Limitations

  • Only static sites are hosted

#6 - GitHub Pages

URL: Go to your github repository > Settings > Github Pages
It's a quick and easy way to host your static site from github

Fleek makes it easy to build websites and apps on the new open web: permissionless, trustless, censorship resistant, and free of centralized gatekeepers.

#8 - Vercel

https://vercel.com
Vercel combines the best developer experience with an obsessive focus on end-user performance.

#9 - Glitch

https://glitch.com
Bypass setting up a local dev environment. Code, auto-deploy and collaborate in real-time with friends—all right in your browser.

It's a very good option!

#10 - Firebase

Firebase is a PaaS Google service. It allows you to create application backend easily without coding. It also allows you to host static websites for free. Firebase is very easy to use and provides a CLI to manage yours apps . They also support hosting cloud functions.

Thanks for sharing this detailed list. If I share my experience, I have tried Netlify, but it is a more convenient option for static websites. To host the backend, I usually go with BaaS solutions like Back4app, Firebase, and Backendless. The majority of them come with a free tier option, so it is seamless for everyone to utilize them.

On the other hand, if we talk about the frontend, then Firebase and AWS are suitable choices. In this regard, you can also consider reading this article blog.back4app.com/how-to-host-fron... because it shares a container platform to host Dockerfile for the client side. I am not sure about its effectiveness. It would be great if you also discuss CaaS solutions for frontend hosting.
