I have my site hosted by a ramnode vps and reserve my domain with namecheap. I haven't had any complaints on either but I won't go out and endorse them. If you're only worried about the python development end, you might consider heroku for non-formal or educational project web application hosting. Personally I found setting up nginx and reverse proxies kind of fun and informative, but maybe that's an unnecessary time sink for your use case.
