If you were to host some scrapers and a MySQL db what would you choose?

Question

I need to host some scrapers and also data for each sites stored as JSON along with the scrapers. Let's say the scraper runs only once a day. And I need to host a Mysql db whose data is used to statically render pages. So, the data is queried like 10 times a day.In such a scenario, how much would you expect the total costs would be and what service would you use?

I have used pythonanywhere for this. Look at their pricing.
There are preset and custom plans available. There is a free tier that may work if what you're scraping is on their whitelist; all paid accounts are unrestricted that way.
If you're not doing any computationally intensive processing, and it sounds like you're not, the biggest factor in cost will probably be how large your database is going to be.
It did everything I needed for $5USD/month.

You must be new around here. The HN answer is just use SQLite! ;)
