I am a junior laravel developer, i am currently developing an application with some of my friends the application is divided into 1- back-end (laravel restful apis with mysql DB) 2- front-end (reactjs and android application) now we are looking for the most suitable hosting to host the back-end and reactjs application so any help ?? note: we are still starting so we need a plan not very expensive till we gain some profit.
Here is a good post which includes shared and other hosting types, @cronix gives references also to DO. All is there, check the links within the post.

And forgive me if I misunderstood your question in any way.
I much prefer AWS over digital ocean. It depends on your needs.
What's your monthly budget? The easiest thing to do is use Laravel Forge ($12/month), especially if you're not a "server admin" or "devops" type of person. http://forge.laravel.com
So Forge will create/provision the server with everything laravel needs. You'd also need to use AWS or Digital Ocean or another cloud service to purchase the server. You could do it all for less than $20/month, depending on the kind of server you need.
@A_HASSAN You should try Cloudways. They are manage hosting providers which makes it easy to create and manage dedicated servers on the choice of your infrastructure provider from (DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, AWS, GCE). Every server you create with Cloudways comes with ThunderStack.
ThunderStack consist of Apache, NGINX , Varnish, Memcached, Redis, PHP-FPM , MySQL and MariaDB ThunderStack guarantees to make your websites 100x faster.
