[PLUG] Recommendation for a hosted server service


I've been trying to set up a server for the last few months with no success.  The server is working as expected but is not accessible from the 'Net.

Everything works within my network and the server can access services outside of my home network but no traffic ever reaches my server from outside my network, at least none that Wireshark can see.

It looks like Comcast is "protecting" me from outside traffic reaching my server.  This is probably not a bad thing for most people but in my case I'm trying to experiment with IoT devices accessing my server over the internet/cellular network.

I have spent several hours on multiple days with Comcast tech support trying to get this sorted out but so far have had no luck.

Does anyone have recommendations for hosting services that are low cost?  I'm only working on Proof-of-Concept stuff so the overall data amounts and number of devices is rather low.
