"Web host" as opposed to a "hosted server"?

I don't know anything about what's out there with web hosting these 
days, but given the complexity of what you need, you're probably better 
off with a more complete server so you can have the exact software stack 
you want.

After FOSSHost completely imploded, I moved rockbox.org onto on a VPS 
hosted in OVHCloud's Hillsboro, Oregon facility.

(I'd prefer to still be hosting it myself still but 13/1.25 rural DSL 
 just wasn't going to cut it. I got _really_ spoiled by municipal 
 fiber...)

I'm paying under $40/mo for 8vCPUs, 16G of RAM, 250GB of SSD-backed 
storage, unmetered gigabit traffic, and choice of OS. It's overkill in 
every aspect but RAM, but they offer a pretty wide range of capabilities 
in both virtual and dedicated servers.

From what you've said, even their cheapest offering is probably 
sufficient; $4.20/mo (hah!) that'll get you 1vCPU, 2GB RAM, 20GB of 
space, and an unmetered 100Mbps feed.  

While it's more of an administrative burden than a pure web host, I 
don't know you're going to find what you want any other way these days..
