Best Alternatives To Heroku For hosting a NodeJS app for FREE

I narrowed down the Node.Js hosting platforms I found to be the easiest to use. Both have similar specs on their free tier but note that free tiers usually have some limitations.

I am curious about which platform you're going to be using and why?

[christopheradolphe]

I recently complete a Node.js course and wanted to build a side project to put the knowledge into practice. However, I was still wondering were I could host my REST API application and your video shows up my YT feed. Many thanks.

A big thank you!! cyclic worked fine without no issues, was struggling with vercel then stumbled on your video. A big thanks to you bro!

[challapavankumar]

thankyou so much bro! i wasted 1 hr on unwanted sites but cyclic worked on 1st time .

[srikanthambaldhage]

Thank you very much Raddy. What if I want to host a fullstack application with database too. Can you please make one videos on this!

I've started to use Netlify which has a free tier. Mainly using this because our company does. Only frustration is the structure of my code needs to change because of how netlify functions work. So there's a little bit of a learning curve but not a bad thing!

Cyclic is not available for new registrations.

great video man, no one else made any video on cyclic or render

[edutech]

Thanks a lot, I was already getting confused on setting up using Render. But this explained really well and has helped me deploy. Thanks a lot! you earned another subscriber ;)

such amazing content the first pic showing difference between cyclic and render was enough to free my worries, I had previously hosted on render but due to inactivity delay i didn't like it, looks liky cyclic will perform better, thanks saved my time.

In my app I've used mongoDB locally (compass). So for hosting on render, how can I upload it to the cloud?

[kush_shah]

Can I deploy site if i am having MySQL database in xampp server?

[PranavKJha]

This is precisely what I was searching for.

[abhishekT]

For me thr Render worked
I think the Cyclic didnt worked because am using the EJS.

Well thanks a lot mate
U earned a sub
Nice work

Can i host backend with websockets feature in these two servers like heroku or will it lose connection like deploying on vercel?

[codefoxx]

I was about to recommend cyclic and that was the first one on your list haha

[ClubDeGanadores]

thank you so much for helping, had a really hard time with Heroku, It was asking for $$$, New subscriber!

[muhammadrasul]

i have a question regards hosting and its for database, how can i get the data saved in the database to my pc, i want to host my api but the data is very sensitive and i want to save them into my pc when there was a data in the database, another question i have is, i have only made an api and used express js, but i dont have a website services because the whole api is serving in a REST kind of situation, in that case what should i do?

[sarahahmed]

Thanks for the video. I need to deploy my MySQL database to work with the nodejsapp. Do you have recommendations for good mysql hosting platforms? It doesn't have to be completely free, because I know that would mean very low security, but my database isn't huge and I don't need exceptional security - if there's a good cheap option out there I'd like to know.

I might be late to ask byt can you tell are there any platform like cyclic but more app I can host
