05/09/2021, 1:18 AMThere's no such thing as "kotlin hosting". It's all jvm hosting, so pick whichever supports JVM or Java best.

05/09/2021, 2:17 AMIf its a Kotlin Native app then any hosting provider that provides Linux IaaS (Infrastructure As A Service) will work like AWS Ec2 ( https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ ) for example. Google Compute Engine ( https://cloud.google.com/compute ) might be a possible option, although it remains unknown if Kotlin Native apps (targeting linuxX64) will work on the platform.

05/09/2021, 2:25 AMI can confirm that Kotlin Native apps targeting linuxX6) will run just fine on AWS Ec2 (Intel based). Presumably Kotlin Native apps targeting linuxArm32Hfp or linuxArm64 will work although that hasn't been confirmed.

05/09/2021, 2:27 AMHas the Kotlin team looked to see if a Kotlin Native app targeting linuxArm32Hfp, or linuxArm64 will run on a AWS Ec2 (Graviton based) instance?

05/09/2021, 2:32 AMGoogle Cloud's support seems to only cover Kotlin JVM. As far as I'm aware Kotlin Native, and Kotlin JS aren't officially supported, unless Google are planning to support additional Kotlin development platforms.
