On one hand it's true - you get what you pay for. On the other hand (and in my case) if you're a one-man startup and you're broke (or deeply in debt), you don't have money to spend on frivolous things like a web server, and free resources like this mean the difference between launching and not launching. I use everything I mentioned in my post... the only thing I'm paying for right now is a server ($60 for 6 months), a domain name and SSL Cert. The domain name? 1.99 with 10% off coupon and the cert was $10. I'm not saying this is the best or the right way to do things, but for me it mean the difference between sitting on my butt, and launching.
