Amazon Lightsail (in London):

$20/month, 4 GB RAM, 2 CPU cores, 80 GB SSD storage, 4 TB/month bandwidth.

You can add extra storage for $0.10/GB/month.  There are also modest
additional charges for snapshots (for backups).

I have found Lightsail to be very reliable and good value.

The only thing to watch out for is the bandwidth pricing if you exceed
the monthly allowance.  If that's going to be a concern, consider
DigitalOcean.
