Amazon has accelerators programs I have one right now I was accepted to Startup school of YCombinator, but the credits are only 1000 that is enough only for 2 month I need at least one year to grow a lot and to get investment from a venture capital fund So, I will try to charge 1 or 2 dollar maybe by month , so I could pay the servers

It's your startup so do what you think is best, but at $1 - $2 a month, you'll lose a massive number of users. Then, I don't know if your app will be worth $1 - $2 a month (or a year).

How can you save money on hosting?

OP could move from AWS to bare metal, and trade some resiliency for runway.

That's a good idea. I bet that OP could save quite a bit running something on bare metal. And, if they are looking to extend their runway, maybe a specific ask like "Can anyone hook me up with $x months on $provider?" would have more luck than a generic 'looking for co-founders.'
