About Alibaba Cloud web hosting;
- The free trial doesn’t cover basic web hosting. You need to use the “Elastic Compute Service” to create a server to host websites on AliCloud servers.
- You can also run Alibaba Cloud together with RunCloud “PHP server control panel” for much easier web server management.
- Or check Cloudways if you need managed cloud hosting with free trial.
