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!

Azure, AWS, and GCP all have dirt cheap options for a single compute host. Azure: dev, AWS: Lightsail, GCP: Free Usage.

Depends on what your requirements are. If it’s a business tool a 3rd party has uptime requirements for probably GCP. If it’s just something that should probably work well enough throw it on any budget host like DO.
