Just my opinion.
For personal sites or ones that do not matter that much:
* Digital Ocean
* Amazon Lightsail
For sites related to your livelihood or that matter a good bit:
* AWS works well for me.

That said, both services have firewall rules you put in place that help manage this. IE - you may expose SSH to your local ip address, but only port 80/443 for the rest of the world.
You are right though - its another attack vector. If you don't want to muck with that, and you have a static site, you could put your static site into S3 and then host with cloudfront. With that, you have no risk.
