This is a page that lists free dev tools and hosting for developers, hobbyists, and students to use for their projects. The original post for this was from the “Free Web Hosting and Other Hosting Providers List” article, but this page expands also to other dev tools that aren’t just hosting.
For a tool to make it onto this list, it has to be accessible to the majority of people, which mainly means no credit card needed as not all students have credit cards. Services on this list are also free for the most part with options to upgrade to a paid plan for greater features. Have fun!
