What's your blog? I'm interested in reaching out, can you include your email in your profile? Thanks.

What does flat-like means here? Are they talking about the design (flat) ?

It’s referring to how posts are stored serverside. CMS software such as Drupal, Wordpress, etc. store posts in a database. A flat-file CMS stores posts in a file, making editing and creating posts easier. Also saves on the hassle of securing an admin dashboard.
What hosting provider do you use for $0.19/mo?

I use https://getgrav.org because I like flat-file CMS.
Maybe there are some photographers here: http://koken.me (CMS for photographers).
Another idea: Use a static page generator and Amazon's S3 with this neat blackhat trick - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/how-one-website-exploited-... (mildly joking).
OT: I pay 0.19$/month for my blog hosting including domain with around 500 views/month (just a personal blog). Many services cost 5$/month, I don't think that's cheap.
edit: Medium is for visibility. I know many SEO experts who use it extensively to increase their rankings. Its UX might be annoying for some, but its true value lies in its popularity and outreach.
