title: Hosting a RESTful API
body: <p>I'm a C# ASP.NET junior dev and have worked with Code First C# Databases, RESTful API's, MVC &amp; Vue (a frontend framework sort of like React) to create websites.</p>
  <p>Now at work and during my education, I've never handled deployment.</p>
  <p>At this time I have a personal project. I have succesfully hosted my relational MySQL Database on phpMyAdmin and can update it from my local desktop.
  My hosting site let me know they do not host C# or anything of the sort.</p>
  <p>I found some posts suggesting Azure, AWS, others, but for every post I find I find equal people protesting those.</p>
  <p>What is a good site to host my first REST API? I'm looking for something that can go beyond Minimum Viable Product and I'd like to host my website under the hosting service I'm currently using (so not paired hosting with the API).</p>
  <p>What would the costprice look like for an API that's deployed and being used by clients?</p>
  <p>I realize this cost depends on the amount of traffic, but assume a basic API used for, let's say, posting orders in an online shop (though website/app/w.e, it all would communicate through the API).</p>
  <p>Any tips are welcome as I feel I'm swimming in the dark researching this.</p>
  <p>Thank you</p>
