Hosting for Flask

Hi there,

Flask is really great. I used it for a while at localhost, but now I
would like to set it up for a project.
Anyway, do you know of a free hosting service to use with Flask? I
would like to hear from you if you want to share your experiences.

Thanks!

In my experience Webfaction is the best Python hosting out there. Non
expensive and great support.

http://ep.io is EXCELLENT. I couldn't be happier with them.

Send me an email if you want an invite code.

Looks good. Does it allow to bind a domain name?

Amazon EC2 micro instances are essentially free. They would be suitable for
low-traffic sites.

I thought the free EC2 micro deal was only good for a year.

Yes, that's true. After the first year it's still very cheap for a
low-traffic site.

I have seen some templates on GitHub for getting Flask up and running on
Google App Engine (which I think is free)... anyone have any experience with
this?

I have a Flask application running on GAE; it's pretty easy to setup by
following any of those templates. My only complaint is that GAE doesn't keep
at least one instance of the app running at all times, so if your app takes
some time to load it can be frustrating :/

you can pay for 'always on' instances if you want to (in case you didn't know)

On that note, something like this might help a bit.

I maintain a Flask GAE template: https://github.com/zachwill/gae-flask-html5

It's incredibly easy to get Flask up and running for a simple site — and App
Engine claims to handle 5 million pageviews a month for
free<http://code.google.com/appengine/kb/general.html>.
It is a bit tricky using GAE's Blobstore, but I've found everything else
takes a minimal amount of time to set up.

This looks really nice! I'll probably start using your template for future
flask projects. Thanks for maintaining it :)

Do you know about how cheap? I was under the impression that EC2 cost a
minimum of $20 or $30 a month.

On-demand instances are in the minimum $20/mo price range. However, the
current spot price is $0.007 per hour for a Linux micro instance. That works
out to $5.21 for 31 days or $61.32 for 1 year. There's additional charges
for bandwidth and storage, but for a low-traffic site that's probably
negligible.
