Can you recommend free hosting for vanilla PHP database driven website in 2026?

1 Upvotes

I am building a simple vanilla PHP blog/portfolio website to post occasional blog posts and showcase some projects. I don't expect much traffic or the site requiring much server resources. Is there any free hosting providers for this type of websites in 2026? I know there's infinityfree.com, awardspace.com and some others but some folks mention that those free hosts can disappear overnight with your website data and never be back again lol.

Hi everyone,

Over the past few months, we've been building TadreebLMS, an open-source Learning Management System focused on enterprise and corporate training.

We've recently completed a major restructuring of the project

The project is built with:

PHP / Laravel
MySQL
Bootstrap / JavaScript
Docker

Issues:

We have a huge roadmap like SCRUM Integration, UI upgrade as per FIGMA, Gap Analysis Module Integration, Integrations with HR Systems etc...

Please anyone experience or architect in PHP can give recommendation on best practices, gaps in the system etc..
