Kbin self-hosters: what hosting platforms are you using? (kbin.social)

I want to self host my own kbin instance. But dream host (my current host) doesn't let me do postgresql unless I get a dedicated server (very expensive). And I don't want to put it on my home machine because I want professional hosting.

So what are my other options? And what are you all doing? Are there preferred hosts?

Do you use unmanaged hosting?

Yes, using their so called cloud service, so I'm managing everything myself.

So you install your own server (apache or nginx or whatever) and also run your own postgresql from the same unmanaged space? And the server software serves both the php app and the database?

Thanks for answering my questions. I've always used managed hosting but it's becoming too limiting and I'm seeking to expand my options.
