I have an own webserver based on plesk. I can check which databases can be installed and used there and how the traffic is limitied.

Frontend hosting

I think zeit.co is nice and easy to get started. A simple push to the master branch will automatically trigger a build and deployment - no further configuration required.

However we don't have to host front and backend at the same place.

Databases

I would make this another issue when we have a clear idea on the whole data scraping situtaion. For starters there is nothing wrong with mocking the service and serving the mock data from a json file, imho.

However, possible db providers for NoSQL would be Atlassin for mongodb and firestore. SQL databases are offered by everybody and their mum.
