I have always disliked services like netlify or vercel. Sure it seems nice with free hosting but in reality it's quite limiting and often it's cheaper to host on a $5 DO droplet or some similar vps offering. Also, with those kind of services that are free, soon gets very expensive as soon as you leave the free tier.

With a vps, you can do front and backend and host hundreds of low traffic websites.

I don't really understand what type of developer only does front end work or where do you host your backend stuff whjen you use Vercel / Netlify?
