I’d been searching all over the internet to find the best app to host my node application for free.

But I failed, eventually, I found this glitch platform and went through it for some time.

I thought it would be better to share it with you all.

Let’s dig into what they are providing. Well, this kind of website gives you minimum options when it comes to the free version.

We can’t blame them for that. Nowadays hosting prices are skyrocketing.

I shut down two websites because of that. There are many reasons (No, just one. Without visitors why I should pay thousands for a year? I cried for a week that’s a different story).

So, Glitch offers you some free options they come with some prebuild setup too.

They offer a basic website hosting that’s static, and they are giving you the option to build a blog website with the help of Eleventy.

They are also providing one react boilerplate setup and SQLite option.

I hear you, most of the free hosting providers give you the above-mentioned item nothing special.

The special thing is the Node.js app. Yes heard it right.
