Summary
Shubham hosts his entire online presence—site, APIs, email, monitoring, URL shortener, dev tools—for $0/month using free tiers of Cloudflare (DNS with unlimited queries and DNSSEC), Vercel (Next.js edge network), Render (API server), GitHub Pages (lightweight static sites), Tailscale (WireGuard mesh that punches through CGNAT), and managed databases (Supabase Postgres, MongoDB Atlas). The philosophy is free-tier-first and owning critical paths like DNS, with managed services to avoid self-hosting ops nightmares.
