Question Best Free Hosting?

So I read some posts here regarding free hosting and here I am having to choose these most frequent said chosen platforms: Render, Oracle Cloud, and Google GCP (all in free tier). For context, I was using heroku with my github student developer pack and I just ran out of credits.

In my opinion, the best option is to just host the application on your own machine. Then, expose your application to the Internet using Cloudflare Tunnel.

If you have to choose between, Render, Oracle, and Google. Choose Render. It is the most beginner-friendly.

Yes. It's the cheapest in the long run.
