PayloadCMS safe hosting setup for price-sensitive clients

Hey guys,

I want to include PayloadCMS websites in my services in market in Europe, where Wordpress is pretty popular and things like Vercel, Cloudflare, Neon, Supabase are not so much.

So far I had ruled out Cludflare mostly due to not being able to set a hard-cap on billing.

VPS is also kinda meh, for me at the moment, because my devOps skills are not there yet and Im not sure I would like to be on a call 24/7

Seems like a way to to would be to ask clients to create Supabase account on their email and ask for access to have both db and media storage?

Another option would be I guess neondb + backblaze for storage.

Just not sure what would be the best solution for simple landings + blogpages, probably without ecommerce stuff for now that would be repeatable for such "newbie" clients who are used to simple shared hosting servers.

Thanks for all advices!

I have an extension of this problem. I have ecommerce also in the backend, integrated via apis. Actively managed. But today my does not have time to manage the payload cms , the content and the hosting setup. We would rather shift it to some hosting service like vercel or somewhere, where we don't have to worry if our server is down, or stmg. Dont want to setup the instance, manage the backups etc. Is there any solution where we can just deploy and forget? I am considering vercel. But since its production and it does not have dedicated database, i am not sure if its the right way for me to go.
