OVH also offers a 10MB free hosting with Let's Encrypt for every domain, probably more reliable

  Can you send me a link to that so I can send my counter points?

  Isn't that assuming that you buy your domain from OVH: https://www.ovh.co.uk/domains/start10m_hosting_offer.xml https://www.ovh.co.uk/domains/start10m_hosting_offer.xml

  Alright I found the link. OVH’s 10MB plan only has 1 GB of monthly bandwidth while 1MB’s is unmetered (fair use - don’t abuse). OVH’s 10MB plan doesn’t give you access to a database while 1MB gives you access to a secure NoSQL database. In closing they have more storage but they make up for that by taking away some core functionality that 1MB offers. https://www.ovh.co.uk/domains/start10m_hosting_offer.xml https://www.ovh.co.uk/domains/start10m_hosting_offer.xml

    Soft promises ("unlimited, don't abuse") make me nervous because they are not clear. Is making the front page of HN and doing 50gb in one day "abuse"?

      Probably not. But if you're hitting the frontpage twice a month, probably time to pay for a plan.

      The one time I got banned from a free service being considered abuse was 7TB of bandwidth in a month.

      I’m not going to ban a popular site. I have a fair amount of bandwidth. I’m only going to ban a site who purposely abuses resources
