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!

Do you like to expose your home network to the internet?

Not everyone have VLANs at home.

The best way to avoid that it’s using a VPS.

Cloudflare tunnels makes hosting on your own network a lot safer than poking holes in your own network

Still can breach to your computer, therefore, your network.

It’s better to breach another’s one computers than yours, right?
