Cheapest Hosting Service
Hey folks, it's my first time doing freelancing, so i'm building a web app for the client and after that there is still all the maintenance. This is for their internal use, so I'm wondering if there is any cheap hosting services?

For Next.js, I would strongly recommend Vercel
It's free and has amazing continuous deployment
Hosting a next.js app standalone (ex: on a dedicated machine somewhere) requires a lot of setup and makes you encounter quite a bit of hiccups; vercel handles that all automatically
i see, can i ask how does it compare to aws?
Vercel uses aws under the hood.
So essentially same answer as above, solves most of the setup for you.
AWS is gonna be more low level compared to vercel who basically sets everything up for you (ci & cd for ex)
I would definitely start by using Vercel, and then if you notice that they're creeping up to paid tiers (which Vercel will warn you if that starts to happen), you can look for alternatives and explain to your client the benefits and detriments of specific solutions.
100% agreed
however, if it's just for internal use as OP said, they shouldn't have to worry about their usage exceeding the free tier
but we don't know how much it would be used, so we can't safely assume that either
ahh i see
i always thought they had their own servers setup ahhaha
Its great that they will warn first, nice
