Best PHP+MySQL Hosting provider in 2020?


What's the latest thoughts on what a good PHP+MySQL hosting provider (so not full blown VPS) is in 2020 for an early stage website + mobile app API backend experiment? (in terms of being cheap, available, good speed+latency and support)? People have mentioned having small Droplets in Digital Ocean, Hetzner being good, Bluehost might be decent, nearlyfreespeech.net looks neat etc..

Rasmus Lerdorf, the creator of PHP, did a test of low cost VPS providers in October 2019. Still useful in 2020:
