I don’t see anyone mentioning AWS Lightsail.

https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/pricing/

I use it and it seems to be pretty great. I also like that it brings you into the AWS ecosystem at a low price, so if you need to scale or you want to make a bigger application, AWS is right there to hook into. Furthermore it’s a really simple UI and not as overwhelming as the normal AWS web console.

I have also had good experiences with Lightsail. We use the Tokyo node for an app targeting China. And unlike the Amazon free tier (older Red Hat) you get a choice of modern distributions.
