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

Looks good. Does it allow to bind a domain name? 2011/4/11 Kenneth Reitz <me@kennethreitz.com> > http://ep.io is EXCELLENT.

Amazon EC2 micro instances are essentially free. They would be suitable for low-traffic sites. On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 8:31 AM, Kenneth Reitz <me@kennethreitz.com> wrote: > http://ep.io is EXCELLENT.

I thought the free EC2 micro deal was only good for a year. On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 7:36 AM, Drew Vogel <drewpvogel@gmail.com> wrote: > Amazon EC2 micro instances are essentially free.

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?

you can pay for 'always on' instances if you want to (in case you didn't know) http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/adminconsole/instances.html#Always_On On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 8:54 PM, Eric Seidel <gridaphobe@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 14:43, Joshua Finnie <joshua.finnie@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> 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.

On that note, something like this might help a bit. http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patterns/lazyloading/ <http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patterns/lazyloading/>Phil On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 2:54 PM, Eric Seidel <gridaphobe@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 14:43, Joshua Finnie <joshua.finnie@gmail.com>wrote: > >> 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.

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.

Do you know about how cheap? I was under the impression that EC2 cost a minimum of $20 or $30 a month. On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 11:39 AM, Drew Vogel <drewpvogel@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes, that's true.

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.
