    Things intended for local use, like Pihole also don’t work on cloud servers without getting banned for DNS abuse.

    Are you talking about running a public DNS resolver?

    That’s a very different topic that wasn’t part of the original post as far as I can tell.

    There have always been (and there always will be) countless solutions for hosting a website for free. Even ignoring the security implications, mobile networks are not designed to do what you want to do. Full stop. If you can’t find a cloud provider in 2023 that will host a free website that will meet your needs, you aren’t looking hard enough.

    Mobile providers spend billions in CAPEX every single year to keep up with ever-increasing demand (spectrum, base stations, radios, antennas, etc.) and even then they can barely keep up in some areas.

    Every device attached to a given cell shares the resources of that cell. And uplink bandwidth is specifically scarce. Don’t be a bad neighbor.
