It depends on what you need. Personally, I use Vultr for all small projects until I know what I need. I like knowing exactly how much I'll pay each month, and I can bump up the specs quite easily (more CPU, RAM, or add-on storage). Linode and Digital Ocean are very similar, so pick whatever seems good to you. I don't like AWS because the billing is more complex and I'd rather my app run out of resources than get a huge bill if I get uncharacteristic load/behavior. Once I'm out of the prototype phase, I reevaluate the platform given my needs.
