Best hosting for new indie hackers (alien.top)

Hey guys, so I'm kind of new to the indie hacking world and I wanted to take advantage of the current discounts and offers, I plan on building a project where the main cost will be around hosting I guess, free and premium users will upload documents all the time so that's my my concern.

My main stack is Nextjs, Nodejs, MySQL or Postgres.

I already have a cloudways account which costs me around $11.5 a month so I'm not sure if it suits my tecj stack.

My budget is under $2000 so I don't if that's enough to afford the whole process, domain, hosting... Etc, no external APIs will be used so that's about all.

Thanks in advance.

You just need an object storage such as AWS S3 or Digital Ocean Spaces, or alternatively block storage which might be cheaper (tradeoffs).

If you are a dev, maybe you can also consider self-hosting with a simple VM (maybe with a managed database).

I recently put together a guide for using Kamal for a single server self-hosting. Might be useful to you: https://nts.strzibny.name/deploying-rails-single-server-kamal/
