Php and mysql database hosting questions.
I was using only the previous html css javascript (jQuery).
Not long ago, I learned the use of php and database by self-taught.
Write a site with php (ajax) and learn later (ajax works the same way as fetch, right? Displayed on the screen without refreshing...))) That php used to get data from the database.
I wanted to have access to my site from other devices (other networks).Therefore, the port forwarding http80 was left open to access my bitnami Apache htdoc folder.
It worked successfully and was satisfactory.
However, human greed is endless.
And security issues...
I wondered if my small, old, cracked laptop and home server (router, commonly referred to as Wi-Fi) could withstand requests from numerous devices.
So I found the keyword 'hosting' through search.
Hosting means putting a file on the hosting server (company) and the user communicates with the server, right?
You will send or refer to the data in the database through php. How can I mount php and database on different servers so that they don't come to my area (I mean this small old home Wi-Fi and laptop)? And finally, what I want to create is not a website, but an application using web technology, and I want to post it on the Google Store (in the form that the address bar is invisible to the user).
I want you to tell me free websites or technical keywords about this.

Shared Hosting: Host PHP files and the database on the same server, but resources are shared with other websites.
Virtual Private Server (VPS): Get dedicated resources and control by setting up separate servers for PHP and the database.
Cloud Hosting: Use services like AWS or GCP to host PHP and the database on separate virtual machines or containers.
To make your application accessible across networks, deploy it on a public IP or domain name server.
For creating a web-based app for the Google Store, use frameworks like React Native or Flutter. Package the web app within a WebView to hide the address bar.
Consider paying to host for better performance. Explore terms like web hosting, PHP hosting, MySQL hosting, VPS hosting, cloud hosting, and mobile app development with web technologies.
Ensure security by following best practices and protecting against vulnerabilities like SQL injection.
