I have made one react application and want to host it. Do we have any option to host it for free and also I need to connect my godaddy domain to it.

I'm a newb to React so there are a lot of things which still confuse me.
When it comes to hosting plain dynamic websites (PHP + JS + CSS), I have found 00webhost to be useful. With the free version, you have access to the file system where you can simply upload your web pages and it will work with the MySQL DB they provide.
Is it possible to simply upload (drag and drop) an entire React app on this file system as if you were uploading a regular lightweight website?
The reason I ask is because regular plain websites tend to be around 5 MB or less. But React apps are 300 MB.
How is it usually done? Do I have to use a command line interface and initialize the React App within the server environment? Or can I just initialize it on my computer and then drag and drop?
Also I have heard some people say " A Compiled react App is only 5 MB "........What does this mean? What does it mean to compile a React App? I thought the way React works is that you have an index file which acts as the " window " to all the other components and react libraries? How does a 300 MB file get " compiled " into 5 mb?
