Hello everyone! I just wrote an extremely simply single-page tool using just HTML and Flask to convert google maps links to Osmand.net links, and I would like to host it somewhere.

I don't need any fancy bells and whistles, as long as it supports Flask as a backend.

Im no web developer, so I haven't actually hosted my own page anywhere before. As such, simplicity of use and setup is quite important. For example if it allows me to also buy the domain in the same platform thats good.

While I use Flask, there is no data being stored. All the flask app does is take the link given by the user, convert it to the osmand.net format, and return it. Super simple!

I looked on buy-european.net and found Infomaniak Web Hosting. I quite like the fact that they use 100% renewable energy to power their servers according to the page above, but I'm not sure if it would be the best option given how inexperienced with all this I am.

Would love to hear your suggestions! Thanks

Edit: Ended up going with hetzner. Site is pretty much set up right now.

gmaps2osm.de

It has some screen-reader support (still need to get it tested by visually impaired people), and is also set up so that you can install it as a PWA on your mobile device (add to home screen).

Here is the github repo: https://github.com/promitheas17j/gmaps2osm

I would really appreciate any feedback from experienced and not so experienced web developers alike :D

For little fun projects I really like uberspace.de. it's a shared hosting platform, basically you get a user account on one of their Linux servers where you can login and do whatever you want. Price is 10โ‚ฌ/month by default but you can go down to 5โ‚ฌ if you're low on cash. They let you pick your own price, just try to be fair. You can't register domains directly from them but your account comes with a yourname.uber.space subdomain and setting up domains you bought somewhere else is super easy too, they also take care of SSL certificates automatically. They also have a lot of documentation about how to run practically any service you'd want there. Here's the page for flask for example: https://lab.uberspace.de/guide_flask/

EDIT: German company run by some nerds that are really helpful if you need something.
