Heroku php workaround breaks other builds
edg.io annoying DNS and build setup

Hostman no free option
Qovery looks great but didn't get it to work for simple static websites
Statically great for one-pagers, not suitable for 0xfab1.net

koyeb account closed for unknown reason
Railway worked fine until beginning of 2023 when the pricing model changed and the basic service was no longer free
