 I never bought website hosting services.

If I wanted to put a website live, a very simple one, low storage, minimal traffic expected. Something basic. 

Any has an ok hosting providers recommendations? Cheapest really. 😅

 For some reason I can’t zap you. 
 Is there an error message you're getting? Working out the kinks for @OpenSecret lightning address 
 No error message. 
 Have you considered setting up your own server and hosting your self. 
 I haven’t. I think it’s easier to go the typical route. 
 Time to change our routes and typical ways of thinking if you know what i mean 
 Depends on what you want.

If its a static site, I would use github pages. its free and easy to setup with your domain and SSL. 

If it needs light server processing for api and maybe some storage and has low traffic, id consider AWS serverless, or Google, Azure, Digital Ocean or Vercel (no tor access). Costs start at 0 and may run pennies per month for a simple site or app with low volume.

If you need to handle more storage, processing/data transforms, complex auth schemes then Id suggest a VPS. Plan to spend about $8+ per month depending on specs, provider and location

Ive done each of these options. 
 That’s very helpful, thank you. 
 You can even host on nostr:
