Cheap Web Hosting in Malaysia & Singapore
I working on a personal website, which will be going live in the next few weeks, and I am personally based in Malaysia, so I looking for a hosting near to home, and I prefer hosting with servers at Malaysia or Singapore. My personal site is built on frontend codes, HTML, CSS and JavaScript, with no backend codes inside the entire site. My budget annually for web hosting is $21 annually, but prefer to be below $10. I don’t needed databases, or emails, and I prefer a hosting like GitHub Pages, but with server in Malaysia or Singapore. I am not looking for VPS, and my estimated market monthly maxed out at 10k visits.

Since it is a static site and a certain amount of access is expected. I would choose a web service with a CDN in this case. Where Singapore is located:
These are free to use, but require a paid plan depending on the case. Also, these should use CLI or Git instead of FTP.
Thanks you for sharing this, I would definitely add it into my list of considerations, thanks for sharing 😁.
Previously, I had tried out those, and I actually liked them, but I notice their server is in US, and I had no method to change it to Singapore. I prefer a server close to home through, and I couldn’t find any guides on how to change the main data center (where my site files are stored), from the US to Singapore through, or maybe I don’t know I guess.
But, thanks for your time, and I greatly appreciated it.
No. These web services cache on CDN edge servers around the world. References from Singapore are cached on edge servers in Singapore, so re-references are faster. (In rare cases, if the Singapore server is undergoing maintenance, we may refer to nearby Asian servers)
If this is a static file, the reference server will be automatically selected, but for example, due to the influence of a VPN, it may refer to a US server by mistake and slow down the speed.
You can add the following free services to your above list:
Oh, some of these don't expose edge servers. It's not clear that it's in Singapore, so I didn't include it.
There are cloudflare server in kuala lumpur, but not sure if it require certain condition for the site to be served from there...
Hi there! Well, so your means that they cached the static file across multiple locations, to increase the speeds, and it couldn’t be enforce where a file is stored. Did it understand correctly?
If all of it is free, may I ask what are the actual benefits of paid hosting, if free hosting with CDN is better? And what is the benefit of a paid host, compared to free hosting? And is it a good idea to use these hosts if I gonna publish a real website? Since as the quote goes "If you are not paying the product, you ARE the product", is it real in web hosting?
(Sorry, I don't know much about this, since I just develop websites as a hobby anyway, and am not good in web hosting kinda things)
This is great suggestion, thanks you and I would add it into my list. Thanks, although which is better of all of them, and is it good to be used to publish a real website through? I only ever played around and experimented with them before, never using it to publish a real website.
Try it if you're interested. Because they are free to use.
Since you have experience with GitHub Pages, you probably understand some of the benefits of a CDN. It is effective even if the users are concentrated in Singapore. Try web services rather than extending comments here.
Ok thanks for your help, and I will try it out myself.
