How to write a small REST Service for a hobby project and where is it better to publish it?

Question

API

There is a small hobby project for which I want to make a REST Service. It's easiest for me to do it on WCF, as I'm familiar with the MS stack (SQL Server + EF + C#). But this is a hobby project that can hardly be monetized, I want a minimum of financial costs for it. Therefore, not only personal preferences and development speed are taken into account, but also the price for hosting the service. There are many options, I understand, but I am at a loss with a choice, and experience is zero. Advise what to choose (in WCF priority) and where exactly to host?
Ideally something free at launch, like here: https://heroku.com/

Answer 1

I advise you to look at asp.net 5 WebApi, it is just for developing the rest service in C #.
