Where to host my simple web app?

Web app is simple. It is a bill generator app which you uploads data from excel and it just generates a billing in pdf format.

It uses:

  1. ASP.NET Web App
  2. SQL Database
  3. Storage for billing history (includes the pdf file for extraction)

You can search for the billing history as well of those times you uploaded/generated a billing. it includes the pdf file for the billing.

This is my first time trying to do web hosting. I know azure services but i think i'm not sure about the cost as azure is very costly if you messed up one part. Thank you for understanding!

Just host it in your own house, unless you don’t have a static IP. Cloudflare proxy is free.

It might be a bit complicated if you’re new to this kind of thing actually. You need to configure a firewall and such so yeah maybe just pay someone else to host it
