Developers are in a whole new world of 4.0 era, computing resources come with greater power, flexibility as well as complexity. We have giant firms like Google, Amazon with GCP, AWS, etc.
The old days with a single VPS with all in one Ubuntu-Debian, NGINX-Apache, MySQL-MariaDB, PHP-FPM is gone, now, each component tends to have a dedicated "container". That's why we need a management platform to manage a WordPress blog!
For simplicity, we can use Bitnami as a managed WordPress hosting service that hides the hassle tasks about: install PHP, deploy database, secure the server, etc. behind. All you get is an integrated dashboard with wrappers in the form of buttons/menus to control the above stuff.
Let's image how simple it is to click on a WordPress icon and then a fully working web server is being deployed under the hood?
[00:47] "If you’re new to the cloud, the easiest way to get started with Amazon Web Services is with Bitnami. Bitnami provides pre-packaged application images for AWS Cloud servers, so that you can get productive with your new server immediately" - bitnami.com

- Bitnami Launchpad for AWS Cloud

Remember that Bitnami is a 3rd service/intermediate layer between you and computing providers.
That's why you have to register to Free program, AWS Free Tier in this case.
Make sure you are kept up to date information about these trial programs to avoid extra credit card charges.
For instance, AWS only free for selected forms of services: t2.micro VPS
Meanwhile, Google GCP gives you 300$ to use whatever services as long as you are not run out of the budget.
[01:19] Always free
These free tier offers do not expire and are available to all AWS customers
12 months free
Enjoy these offers for 12-months following your initial sign-up date to AWS
Trials
Short-term free trial offers are available through many different software solutions

Every fee is transparent as long as you choose the right eligible services in the Free Tier.
I see Google Cloud Platform has a "double free" policy after 300$ free trial credit is gone, you still have the Free Tier program to apply for, and I feel no struggle to run my blog on that limited resources.
[02:17] GCP Free Tier
12 months and $300 free credit to get you started. Always Free* products to keep you going.
