I have a bunch of applications that run on the free tier and are barely used (they serve websites that are rarely used).
I also had an application that was used 24/7 and used up all my free tier hours. I've bumped that to a Hobby dyno by now, but now all of my free tier applications aren't working.
Can I purchase some more free tier hours? Otherwise, the only way to make all of those sites that are rarely used to work is to make them all hobby, which isn't worth my money.
The answer is no. You cannot buy free tier hours. Your Heroku account has a total amount of 'free hours' per month, and if you use them all up they are gone.
You can upgrade just the applications you care about to the Hobby plan.

I want to deploy my existing Laravel application in the Digital Ocean and this is my first time to go live. I'm choosing droplets shared CPU $5/month my questions are.
Is $5/month is exactly the amount that I will pay for the monthly bill?. If my application is online/accessible forever do I still get to pay $5/month?.
As stated above that I'm using the Laravel framework, can I ssh in the server and install dependencies without a problem?, also can I change the PHP version in the server?.
Please help me this is my first time and I have no idea what to choose if shared or dedicated CPU'S.
Note: My Laravel application is only for my personal use.
Here is my screenshots.
Thank you in advance.
Yes, that is the price that you will pay each month unless you turn on features like automatic backup and etc. which add up a couple of extra $.
You can, however, get billed more if you go over the droplets outbound data transfer. Check it here. But since you said it's only for your personal use, no worries there.
Yes, you can ssh into your server and install whatever you need on it (composer, database, PHP libs).
For every package, you are still billed hourly up to the end of the month which roughly equates to the price on that screenshot. That means that you can play around with your droplet, see how it works, and if you change your mind, you can always delete it, and only be billed for the number of hours that you used it.

Is there any hidden costs for Heroku hosting? is flat rate per hosting really flat?
The costs are exactly as advertised. I've been using Heroku for a long time, even have a verified account (added a credit card) and have never received a charge.
I got a verified account so I get the monthly 1000 free dyno hours enough to host an app on there 24/7. (A month has ~720 hours.)

My current user base is all in the US so my current Heroku server is in US-East. However, I am about to add Chinese localizations to my app so I expect a lot of people in China to download my app. I am afraid that my US-East server will be too far and latency will be much higher.
Is it common to deploy multiple instances of my server in different locations? Or can I assume that technology has developed to the point where latency will not be an issue for a CRUD app?
Building multi region apps can get complicated very quickly and often introduce new problems on their own. For example, it’s easy to host an Asian app, but what database does it talk to? If it has its own database for speed, how do you sync with your American database? If it will continue to use the American database, you’ll still have latency.
If your application is fairly simple, you’re almost key certainly better off to keep with just a single US based application, and use a CDN such as Cloudflare to cache assets closer to asian clients.

I just wanna know if Elasticsearch is free. I know it is open source but I checked the website and I didn't find anything about pricing, though I did found subscription with no pricing. So, is it free for long-term use?
Just to let you know, I'm working with the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) and socket IO.
If Elasticsearch is free, then is it going to work and integrate with my stack smoothly?
If you want managed hosting from elastic.co, they charge you according to several variables. You can find the pricing here: https://www.elastic.co/cloud/elasticsearch-service/pricing
If you want to use the open-source version, stand up your own servers and manage your own deployment, the code is at no cost and can be found here: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch
It's super-important to remember that spinning up VMs on the cloud is NOT free. In fact, you might spend more money on cloud VMs than using elastic.co's managed services. Elasticsearch is a memory hog and I found that very quickly, and with minor load, I had to dedicate 4GBs of RAM just for the Java heap space. Under heavy load, you'd have to dedicate more. All of that costs money.
As far as integrating with your mainly-javascript stack, it shouldn't be a problem. This library is very useful: https://www.npmjs.com/package/elasticsearch
Elasticsearch is free of cost and open source. They charge for services like support, consultancy etc. and for plugins like kibana.

I've just created a MS Windows Azure account (with my Live ID, phone number and credit card no). The account details say that I have 30 days of free account and 150€.
I am wondering how these numbers works. I supose that I have 30 days of free account but, what about these 150€? Can I spend this money after the free account period expires? or I have to spend it within the 30 days.
Thanks in advance!
It's a credit up to 150€ ($200 USD) for the first month. After the 30-day trial it expires.
You can spend this amount within 30 days.
The free account ends when you reach the $ 150 or 30 days.
