Categories

DNS

Web Hosting

  • Cloudflare Pages (Best overall with a free pages.dev domain but has a 500 builds per month limit.)
  • Github Pages (Free username.github.io domain with a 100GB/m bandwidth limit and 10 builds per hour.)
  • Vercel (Free vercel.app domain with 32 builds per hour and a 100GB/m bandwidth limit.)
  • Gitlab Pages (Unlimited everything but most complicated and no CDN so you can use Cloudflare CDN to fix that issue.)
  • Netlify (Free netlify.app domain with 100GB of bandwidth/m and 300 build minutes/m.)
  • Render (100GB/m bandwidth with 500 build minutes/m)

Domains

  • js.org (Github Pages but with a free js.org domain and Cloudflare DNS support)
  • eu.org (Free eu.org domain with Cloudflare DNS hosting support but takes a long time to get a eu.org domain approved.)
  • FreeDNS (Limited DNS records except for iz.rs and no Cloudflare support except for us.to but that has no NS records.)

CDNs

  • jsDelivr (A very good CDN for devs with 4 CDN providers, 3 DNS providers, everything on GitHub, every WordPress plugin, everything on npm, and more.)
  • Statically (Has everything on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket with 3 CDNs on their network with the image CDN feature not working.)
  • Cloudflare CDN (320 locations with 280Tbps of bandwidth on their network all for free by enabling proxying.)
  • jare.io (You may not use it if your website has traffic over 50GB/m.)
  • cdnjs (A CDN hosted on Cloudflare with 6,091 libraries.)
  • Githack (A CDN for git hosted on Cloudflare CDN.)
  • UNPKG (Free CDN with everything on npm powered by Cloudflare CDN.)
  • imgCDN (Free image CDN powered by Cloudflare CDN)

Email Services

  • Zoho Mail (I found the Mail free plan for you because it's hard to find and it gives 5GB per user with 5 users with a free custom domain email and a free zohomail.com email.)
  • Tuta (Email service designed for privacy with 1GB of free email storage.)
  • Proton Mail (Basically Tuta but half the free storage, more expensive, and if the goverment requests info they will give it.)
  • Temp mail (A free temporary email that expires after a few days.)
  • Yopmail (Free temp email with many domains to choose from but the emails auto delete after a week and anyone can access the email you made.)

Speed Tests

For internet

  • Speedtest by Ookla (Most popular and has many servers hosted by ISPs and Hosting Providers.)
  • OpenSpeedTest (An open-source speed test server you can self-host designed for testing your local network speed but can also be used instead of Ookla and can be embedded in your website.)
  • Librespeed (You can also self-host Librespeed and it's a good alternative to OpenSpeedTest if you can't use that.)

For websites

SSL

  • LetsEncrypt (Best free SSL overall.)
  • SSL for free (Not recommended unless you can't use certbot at all.)
  • ZeroSSL (Same company as SSL for free.)
  • Cloudflare (Free SSL certificates when you get Cloudflare DNS or Cloudflare Tunnels.)

VPNs

  • Proton VPN (Overall best for privacy and customization.)
  • Cloudflare WARP (Best for speed and simplicity and really only hides your IP.)
  • TOR Browser (For maximum privacy and is always used for the dark web.)

Git

  • GitHub (Best overall with unlimited storage for free but owned by Microsoft which is known for telemetry, tracking, spyware, e-waste, and Recall WHICH IS A UNSECURED NONSTOP SCREENSHOTING STORAGE WASTING PEICE OF CRAP.)
  • GitLab (Best for security but more expensive and less storage unless you self host it.)
  • Codeberg (Bad web hosting unless it's only for Germany, low repo storage at 750MiB, and you have to request for more resources.)
