💬 Five free ways to host your first website without spending a rupee

Built your first project locally but haven't deployed it because you think hosting costs money? Here are some genuinely free options. Vercel: Best for Next.js/React. Connect GitHub and deploy automatically. Great for portfolios and personal projects. Netlify: Similar to Vercel and excellent for static sites. GitHub Pages: Perfect for simple portfolios, resumes, and documentation. Static only. Render: Good for Node/Express backends, but free services sleep after inactivity, causing 30-60 second wake-up times. Supabase: Great for databases, authentication, and storage, especially alongside Vercel. For learning, college projects, and portfolios, these free tiers are more than enough. Deploy your projects and put them online!
