Cheapest host for a URL redirect domain?

DustyBawls · Jun 3, 2023

I've bought a domain purely for URL redirect purposes..

domain.com/go-here
domain.com/redirect-here
etc

What's the best host that doesn't cost much which is absolutely fine for something like this?

Spin up AWS Free Tier EC2 instance and put your domain behind cloudflare, it will do just fine when it comes to redirecting.

Just setup something like a cloudflare worker or AWS lambda function.

Cloudflare workers are free upto 100,000 requests a day.

Is that this?

Is it simple to connect domain to host? I've never used AWS before.

Yes correct, keep in mind that you'll have to setup a web server (apache2, nginx are good options) and then add your domain and point aws ec2 IP to your domain. Additionally you can use a panel, good free alternative is Cyberpanel.

Hey OP, the cheapest you can get starts at only $5 per year with HostKoala. That's my experience. And yes the redirection is easy peasy asf even for non-tech savvy.
So congratulations!

Think this would work for Mass emails? Looking to send thousands of emails a day but need to include links in the email without landing in spam folder.
