Hey, I have been using Netlify as hosting service for my portfolio and other projects. (BTW, check out my portfolio here.)
But I don't like when netlify.app is added after my websites.
Can you suggest me some really good and affordable hosting services?
Also, I'm looking for a domain. Which domain would you suggest which looks professional and doesn't cost much?

The .dev top-level domain is quite popular among developers.
The .me is great for portfolio websites.
You could also get a .com domain name similar to "ai-programmer.com" - it's one of the oldest TLDs so most of the good domain names are either used by someone else or are parked by domain squatters.
You can get free domains through GitHub students developer pack. education.github.com/pack
whoa i didn't know that is a thing
Haha! Although TLDs are limited to .me (thru namecheap), .rocks, .ninja, .studio, .live (thru name.com) and .tech (thru .tech domains).
If you're going for static sites, you might as well use github pages.
pages.github.com/
yea if not constrained by the limitations, the github.io extension looks awesome
Second that. I'm cross posting on my personal blog what I post here. I can have my own custom domain without any issues.
Firebase, domain is: .web.app
Or freenom, domain is .cf, .tk, .ml,... (free first-year, after that, is $18)
Or if you have an account GitHub Student Developer, that has many promotions for the domain, visit it: education.github.com/pack
Very easy to register Github Student Developer if you have an email education
Tuttutor.com is for sale (only $5000 - negotiable). Contact me (martineboh@gmail.com). You can build cool MOOC or online learning apps like Udemy.com with it. I actually abandoned the project halfway.
I think spending on high value domain is the past, today many top level domain exists and apart from that, google search has made Domain names obsolete as most of us use words to search on google to get to website. Or we search fir an app on app stores, both of them are not linked with domain in anyway.
Also a wrongly named domain has no value for that price.
@akash totally agree with you man
At that price, I would opt for another domain name, a mac book pro, hire some interns and start my own business. :D
Ok, negotiable and totally agree with you...I will give it away for $2000. I also have Clajj.com for a giveaway $2000...
NameCheap is good because the first year is 1 dollar for most domains. Avoid GoDaddy like the plague. That is for purchasing a domain, for hosting your site Vercel makes it really easy to add a domain to your site.
.xyz is the cheapest across the board but can be kind of ugly. .dev and .me are great for portfolios, and you can't go wrong with the good old .com but those are generally more expensive.
If you're looking for something professional and free, I like Google's Firebase hosting which gives you the domain [project name].web.app. I'm not sure what the limits are but I think they're pretty generous
There are many TLD you can buy for very cheap. .io, .xyz, .wtf, .dev, .me all sound perfect for personal projects. Once you buy the one that you like you can configure netlify to point to it instead of netlify.app docs.netlify.com/domains-https/cus...
Hey there!
I could suggest DigitalOcean and their new App platform. You can host up to 3 static websites for free as well.
You can take a look at this quick demo here on how to do that:
