I would recommend opening a DigitalOcean account, running a PostgreSQL database with either a NodeJS, or LEMP server. $5/month.

Hey, all. I'm playing with the idea of writing an app for community band librarians to store their catalogs in. I actually use a Google Sheets file for the Bangor Band, because I'm worried about maintainability for the next person, but I've had a couple of ideas that would make sense to do this as a shared online database app. Since hosting the database myself right now isn't practical, I was wondering if anyone has experience with using a cloud database, and how to get started. I'm leaning towards VB.Net (as a learning project), which makes me think about SQL Azure, but I don't really know anything about it. Cost is a big factor here, if for no other reason that I don't want to waste much money during the development phase. Thanks!
