Should I host my simple ASP.NET app on VPS or shared hosting?

Recently I asked about black Friday deals regarding hosting and people here gave a great answers, so thanks for that!

After black Friday and cyber Monday, I ended up with KVM VPS 2vCore CPU and 2GB RAM, 15GB SSD and shared linux hosting (was really a drunk impulse buy) which I don't really need. My app is currently at smarterasp.net, but I don't plan to extend it, since they don't offer any discount.

App is really simple CRUD app which has a small 8MB MSSQL database, so these are options I think of:

  • Host it with docker on my VPS alongside another asp.net core app. Only doubt I have regarding this is will 2 docker containers slow each other, since I'm not sure do I have enough resources?

  • Buy another shared hosting, but this time with hostmantis. This is the easiest solution, but I already spent too much on all black friday deals, so wouldn't spend more if not necessary.

  • Use Azure free solution, but if I understood correctly, I would still have to pay $5/month for SQL, so I could change it to SQLite or MySQL if that makes any difference (didn't use Azure, so I'm not sure does it work like this) and I can't use my own domain, but something.azurewebsites.net. Is this truth?

I don't need anything special and the purpose of the app is only to be alive, since I will put it on my resume.
