I use digitalocean.com and run a “droplet”, 1GiB VM running fedora. Once you have fedora you can do what ever you want, i run apache httpd. I use ssl certs from lets encrypt for the domains i own. Cost in $5 or $6 a month. They support setting up a vm running fedora with ssh to root. After that is plain sailing to set up.
