Introduction

I created a website called Vinmeen that allows users to rent products for temporary needs at a low cost. The goal was to design a simple UI for users to easily rent things they need temporarily.

What I Learned from This Project

This project helped me understand how dynamic websites work and how template rendering is done. I used EJS for rendering templates, MySQL for database handling, and Bcrypt for securely storing user passwords through hashing. I also learned how to send email notifications with OTP and rent requests, among other things.

Hosting

I hosted the site using two different services

Website Hosting – Render.com

Render provides free hosting for experimentation and student projects. This plan has minimal resources, but it’s great for learning and testing.

MySQL Database – Filess.io:

Files.io offers a free MySQL database with a 10MB size limit and a maximum of 5 concurrent connections. It’s ideal for students and self-study projects, but not recommended for startups or businesses.
