This is a super dangerous question that can lead to serious injury and/or hurt feelings. Always be very careful asking developers what the "best" of anything is, lol.

If you're site is static (as in just text content, no real interaction), then some of the cheapest, yet easiest to scale hosting is using either AWS/Gcloud through their object storage.

Hosting a static site through S3 for example can be really cheap, but solve a lot of the problems with uptime scaling.

Google can let you do similar things by setting up a Cloud Storage bucket as a CDN.

If you're app is functional, but not a service, then cloud options may be overkill. Digital Ocean and GoDaddy provide good middle of the ground options, but make system configuration a lot more limited. Otherwise Heroku or Netlify are good options too but require more hands on setup.

😅I am hoping we can accept each other's opinions, even though we might not agree. We are adults here, aren't we? Maybe, you're right, and I should have asked what everyone uses?.. LOL

Thank you very much for your insight and recommendations!
