Claude Code and Codex made it trivial to build a website. You describe what you want, the model builds it, you tweak. An hour later you've got something live on your laptop.
Then the wall everyone hits. Where do you back it up so you don't lose a weekend's work? Where do you host it? How do you connect your own domain without paying a subscription tax? Where do form submissions go?
This is the exact workflow I use. Five steps, one direction. Hosting, backups, and the database run at $0 a month. The only thing you pay for is the domain itself, and you'd pay for that anywhere.
