what platform should i go for if i want to host a small sql db some small apps webservice and a small storage?

Has anybody experience with the these services and would like to share some Information ....
Everything is welcome!
Since you've used the word "small" 3 times, I will venture to say that, in my opinion, GAE is the best fit. Small apps remain inside the free quota on GAE, and you can't beat $0 a far as price goes. Also, GAE handles more of the messy, time-consuming backend tasks. I doubt you want to spend much time maintaining or setting up a "small" app, so having to deal with fewer of these tasks is beneficial. I have some small apps on GAE which I have not even touched for a couple of years. Time is money.

I have been thinking of making a program to use in my company. I would like to store information in a (local) database and use this to keep track of the payments of my clients. I am most experienced in programming in Java. Do you have any suggestions for these databases?
I believe you are probably looking for SQLite. It is very light, basic, works with SQL,but doesn’t have any built in relational methods to link multiple tables together(JOINS, etc). As you mentioned you’ll be using Java, here’s the SQLITEJDBCPackage. Also, here’s a blog that can help you get started.
On the other hand, there is a wide variety of databases present in the market like:
RDBMS: MySQL, PostgresSQL
NoSQL: MongoDB(can run on cloud and locally), Neo4J
Time Series Database(If you storing IOT or time dependant data): InfluxDB
Cloud Databases(Might not be relevant to you since you want a local setup, but just to help you understand better): Firebase, Neo4J, MongoDB, AWS RDS, etc.

For a small start-up mobile app/website what options are there for storing its data? I.e. Physical server or cloud hosted data base such as azure.
Any other options or insight would be helpful thank you!
Edit:
For some background I'm looking at something that users could regularly upload data to and consumers could query to find results through an app or website.
I guess it depends on your work load and also on the your choice of data store. Generally, SQL based storage are costlier on cloud based solution due to the fact that those can be only vertically upgraded whereas no-sql ones are cheaper.
So according to me you should first decide on your choice of data-store, which depends on following factors:
The type of data; is your data structured or it falls under non-structured category?
Operations that you will perform on the data. Do you have any transactional use-cases?
Write/Read pattern; is it a read heavy use case or a write heavy one ?
These factors should help you decide on an appropriate data-store. Each database has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. The trick is to choose one based on your use cases and above mentioned factors.
Hope it helps.

Which do you think is easier for a beginner who lacks of knowledge of setting up a server?
Or, in other words: if I want to start a website, is learning the infrastructure of Google App Engine or learning the normal way to host a website easier?
I have spent some time learning Django, Python, AngularJS and Google App Engine.
AppEngine is PaaS - you can host there your apps. So you do not have to deal with the servlet container, datastore, cron jobs, scaling etc.
Compute Engine is Google's IaaS - you get a VM and you can do with it whatever you like.
Basically these 2 are completely 2 different things, for different use cases. What do you have? an app? or do you need to install other things on the machine? After you come up with answers to this, you will have the answer...

I have been working on a website with Google App Engine for the past few months and I haven't really had to worry about people adding new data or disrupting users when the site went down because I had very few users but I am now planning on rolling the website out to many people.
The site involves users posting topics and I generally when I am making changed on the site I need to have some database entries to work with. I was wondering what is the most professional and efficient way to develop a website while it is in production and not lose user data or downgrade the user experience all that much.
What would be ideal would be if I could split something like 10% of traffic off onto the new site that I am testing but I haven't found anything like this with GAE.
Have you seen traffic splitting? It allows you to send a percentage of your users to an alternative app version, E.g. testing.example.appspot.com

Are there any real production quality sites running on appengine? I've looked around and am finding mostly small applications.
Could someone please point me to some that get a high amount of traffic?
Panoramio.com runs on App Engine, and I'm pretty sure it receives hundreds of thousands of hits daily as it serves the user images you see on Google Maps and Google Earth. Mind you, it was not originally developed in App Engine, it was eventually migrated there after the service got acquired by Google.
