Result: AWS ec2 micro instance (free tier). Need to switch to nano instance after free period expires.

Reasoning:

AWS is popular, well-supported, and offers more cloud services than this project could ever use
Cost differences between AWS and Google were negligible
Didn't seriously consider Azure because of unfamiliarity with the Microsoft ecosystem and no obvious advantages to switching
