When you use Forge, you still need to pay for the cloud hosting company you are using. Forge is a tool that helps you manage your servers and deploy your applications, but it does not provide hosting services. You will need to sign up for a hosting plan with a cloud hosting provider such as DigitalOcean, AWS, or Linode, and pay for that separately.
The charges for Forge are separate from the charges for your hosting provider. Forge charges are based on the number of servers you manage and the features you use. You can see the pricing details on the Forge website: https://forge.laravel.com/pricing
Example:
To use Forge, you will need to sign up for a hosting plan with a cloud hosting provider such as DigitalOcean, AWS, or Linode. You will need to pay for that hosting separately from the charges for Forge.
Here is an example of how to sign up for a hosting plan with DigitalOcean:
1. Go to the DigitalOcean website and create an account.
2. Choose a plan that meets your needs and budget.
3. Create a droplet (server) and choose the operating system and configuration you want.
4. Once your droplet is created, you can connect it to Forge and start managing it from there.
Remember that you will need to pay for both the hosting provider and Forge separately.```
