I'm not sure Google is the solution. . . 

Since we discussed this last I have found a couple of nice calDAV
possibilities:

  - Red Hat Open Shift FreeShifter: it can be used for e.g. OwnCloud
    or some other CalDav calendar (it can install OwnCloud itself).
    I use it for Tiny Tiny Rss and OwnCloud.
      https://www.openshift.com/quickstarts/all?order=created&sort=desc

  - owndrive.com also offers free OwnCloud hosting. 
      https://owndrive.com/

If I have time at some point I'll experiment with it, but so far I
have still be unable to make org-caldav work. . .
