Ask HN: Hosting options for my freeware

1 bubblebeard 2 7/19/2025, 6:10:21 AM

I’m looking for a good service / VPS to host a freeware I’m working on and will soon be releasing. It will weigh about 50mb.

I’m thinking that if I choose a VPS it needs unlimited bandwidth and scalable resources, to ensure I do not spend more than required and that the software is always available.

Been some time since I hosted anything at all, any suggestions?

You can use cloudflare to host a website for your freeware. R2 is a good choice for the distribution of your freeware. Cloudflare has free plan and you basically pay nothing.
