For someone new to self hosting can you recommend cheap VPS to try simple things with? Can pay by hour like some cloud servers let you do or pay full month in advance.

    Google has some arm cpu’s for free https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/arm-on-compute

    Appengine is decent for running some services(stateless), i spend 15cents a month for an api i’m hosting.

    OVH has a $1 vps trial for 12months that’s good to play around with, you can install any OS including custom images. It uses older hardware but it’s perfectly fine to get started. I host long running web socket processes on it.

    For front end static react/javascript based websites i use cloudflare, vercel.
