✅ Hosting web app with SQL Server for free/minimal cost?
Hello there,
I was wondering if anyone knew any cloud/hosting providers that allow hosting an ASP.NET API with SQL Server 2019.
Sql server requires atleast 6 GB of storage I believe and would only work on x64 (AMD64) Architecture so would love to know how people host their personal projects with the above stack ideally for free or minimal cost?
Thanks

there are a lot of services that will let you rent a small VPS for sub $10/mo
i've used OVH in the past
6gb db is a lot and you can't find it like low cost
6GB of storage is not a lot
Azure is easy to publish
Still need to pay some. Above the free or shared size
Oracle provides a decent free tier, give it a try.

Thanks but was looking for something like $10-15 per year
You're not gonna find something that cheap
Thanks, I guess its the best option from all the ones I have seen.
But under the Always free tier, I guess I would need to use the ARM based VM as the AMD only has 1 gb ram. And the arm one, sql server would need to run on docker so not sure if that setup would work properly. Let me know if im missing something

Aah sql server recommends only 1 gb ram so i guess so might just work on oracle AMD vm
