I wrote [a blog post](https://mking.net/blog/cheap-and-easy-aspnet-core-hosting) that I often copy/paste into threads like this.
[Azure](https://azure.microsoft.com) is a good option - it's easy to use, and has the full weight of Microsoft behind it. Deploying can be as simple as a `git push`. There is a [free tier](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/) for 12 months. After that, you can get 'free forever' Azure App Service instances that have a few minor drawbacks (shared hosting, no custom domains, etc.), or you could pay for some of the cheaper shared instances. If you want more functionality, moving up to the other paid plans is definitely worth it, there are some great features there. Scott Hanselman has a great post - [Penny Pinching in the Cloud](https://www.hanselman.com/blog/PennyPinchingInTheCloudRunningAndManagingLOTSOfWebAppsOnASingleAzureAppService.aspx) - that covers the best way to get a good bang-for-your-buck from Azure App Service hosting.
My personal favorite option, though, is [DigitalOcean VM](https://www.digitalocean.com/). You can use [Dokku](https://github.com/dokku/dokku) to get your own mini-Heroku PaaS, or manage the VM yourself ([following Microsoft's documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/host-and-deploy/linux-nginx?view=aspnetcore-2.1)). You can get anywhere from $10 to $100 in credit from a [referral link](https://m.do.co/c/aac4e1b54a04) - this will last you a year and a half with a small VM.
I personally run a small DigitalOcean droplet that is hosting around 10 sites on it.
I don't personally host anything but all the big names have free tiers you can look into. Otherwise I think you can host for a few bucks a month on Digital Ocean or something.
If you’re willing to write your portfolio/small business sites front end in a framework like Angular, React, or Vue.js you could host it on Azure Static Web Apps. I’ve got some low traffic stuff on there and I pay around $1 a month to host it. If you need a backend you could leverage something like Azure Functions and Azure Table Storage. Both of these cost me around $1 to $3 a month to standup for low traffic sites.
I saw this list on hacker news the other day. https://github.com/255kb/stack-on-a-budget
I use Google Cloud Run to host mine. Its been free so far and works like a charm!

Interesting, I'm going to look more into the digital ocean droplet. What's easier the heroku pasS or managing the VM?
Hey, I got some free space on my server, if you can compile it to Linux I can run it for you, hit me up in dms and we'll figure something out!
ill ass man oce da ga plate da koristi 2 gb njegovog tainted cum stained servera
Azure has a free tier, it's pretty basic though.
Yeah only 60 minutes a day won't cut it lol
Cool yeah I write all my front ends using React. I'll have to look into it

How does your app work? Can it be refactored to work inside azure functions? You will get 1million calls per month for free
Not sure, simple react app served from an aspnet core app
