Hey guys, I am planning to develop a static website/blog on WordPress CMS. Any recommendations for hosting. Is AWS free tier worth it?

what level of traffic do you expect. WordPress.com business plan is quite useful but if you want to really engineer things out Digital Ocean droplet might be a good idea too.

Not much traffic to begin with. Though I plan to invest significant efforts towards SEO. Let's say 1k per month 5-6 months down the line..
