Is it free if I wanted to host my application of hackathon to show for evaluation?

Hy could you upload a video on how to use hostinger domain name in EC2 after doing this

[@GouravMidya]

Hey soumya personally I would suggest you services like render.com , they are super easy to monitor and deploy on and even link your personal domains to , I did this ec2 tutorial because I was a course mandate to deploy on ec2 and it was painstakingly time consuming for me so I wanted to make it easier for others
