Amazon AWS Webpack GitHub Pages OpenLayers Babel
  1. Amazon Web Services offers reliable, scalable, and inexpensive cloud computing services. Free to join, pay only for what you use.
    But, if you are determined to create back-end for your data you can try using AWS. It is very popular but I never tried it before. Or use any other services to host your Virtual Private Server.

  2. Webpack is a module bundler. Its main purpose is to bundle JavaScript files for usage in a browser, yet it is also capable of transforming, bundling, or packaging just about any resource or asset.

    For front-end I didn't use leaflat instead I used OpenLayers javascript library to manage geo objects in the browser. OL library provides many examples to use api calls and create layers such as OSM example. You might want to try things like webpack, babel, depending how deep you want to tip your toe in front-end developing tools.

    Which brings me to my next point, instead of hosting and serving the data yourself, you can use OSM Overpass API. OSM has tons of geo data you can use on your project such as administrative boundaries, point of interests, roads etc. You can use it without backend which might really help with taking things slow. After completing your only front-end project you can put it to Github Pages. You can make your website online without having to pay for services thanks to that!
