If you are building your project in PHP or just doing client stuff, where do you host these projects? Assuming these are production projects, what is currently the best option?
Heroku. Easy to start and cheap to run.
I'm beginner, and I think I should start from small, Digital Ocean is good start for me, easy to use, using 2 droplet right now (webapp server & database server)
I'm hosting my PHP on DigitalOcean, it goes from $5 á month and can scale without problems if that gets too small.

What do I do?
With containers (i.e. docker), the PHP aspect of the question washes away. That's the great thing about containers, they decouple the hosting from the application. Google, AWS, Azure, they're all the same. So pick a host by price or by the other services they provide.
