Can't you just use Heroku to host your app for free? I'd imagine you're not getting a lot for 1 euro per month in terms of performance.

There's nothing free on Heroku,especially when your app is freezed after 1 hour of inactivity. Heroku is quite expensive, while it helps for ruby devs or node devs, i dont see the point for python devs especially when python deployement is as easy as php.

I personally use alwaysdata for my python apps,it support Django/Flask/Bottle... through Wsgi and has SSH access for around 9€. (supports perl/php/ruby too). On the rdbms side mysql/postgres/couchdb/mongodb included. You can do git deployement.

I tried AppFog but frankly the service sucks,deploying large apps doesnt work , no ssh whatsoever and i find it strange to have to do tunneling to access a db server from the outside ...

And you can create 1 free account on alwaysdata to test stuff out.

You could. Not sure if Heroku offers a full fledged linux environment. Also there are unlimited databases (MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB, CouchDB or Redis ) included in the 1€ fee.

The free database on Heroku is limited to 10K rows and $9/month gets you 10 million rows.

From what I can see, they only accept money by bank transfer which means, unless you have an EU based bank account, you'll be paying transfer fees. Pity.

They have a pay what you want pricing model.

if you speak German... the host's whole website is in German.

Right, that's not ideal. Maybe Google Translate can help you get through the signup process.
