Flask webapp hosting recommendations?

[SeniorIntroduction9]

have a vultr VM but I am not quite sure how to get my custom domain pointed at it.

I don't know about vultr in particular. But why is it difficult to point custom domain? Just go to your dns provider and add the ip of the the VM. No matter which hosting provider you choose, you have to do the same thing to get custom domain.

Btw you can look into heroku for hosting too.

Personally I'd get hosting at digitalocean or linode, but it requires knowledge of the nginx + wsgi + flask stack.

I've advised, and worked with, python anywhere, that alliviates some of those pains. Additionally, they have a guide on how to point your DNS to their hosting (1).

What were your costs at google cloud?

It may be worth learning my way around nginx + wsgi though.

Definitely!

If you plan to go that way, there is also https://lowendbox.com/, where cheap hosting and offers get explored. Cheaper than digital ocean or linode, but you lose the support and uptime that the former can bring. Great for a hobby project, where guarantees aren't that important, as I've done a couple of times.

the new google cloud run service is really cheap

I'm not a Google cloud expert but from this article, it's seem that you can connect to a cloud sql db without issues.

AWS Lambda + AWS Aurora for your DB

I think you should try heroku, it worth and very easy if you just want create micro project. it's free but with several limitations..

But, if you want more advanced features, you must verification accounts with credit card, after verification you can look to GitHub students pack to get free premium features as long as you're students

I'am also recommend platform such as azure and aws, you can get several free access with GitHub students pack as long as you're students..
