I've solo-developed websites with more traffic than thedonald in PHP and MySql. If you said this a few years ago, I would have agreed (minus the self-hosting part, which is a bad idea for almost everyone with a serious website).
For basic websites where you just need to show information, sell a product, etc. site-builders have become annoying good. 98% of the population can not hard code a generic website better than a site-builder for static, generic websites. Now, if you need to build an application online, then you need to actually learn how to code.
That said, It is hard to find a quality host. The vast majority are either factory farming users on over-utilized or outdated equipment, and would be thrilled to get rid of any single customer which utilizes their time or attention. Or, they are giant tech oligopolies of the likes that are instigating cancel culture to begin with.

That said, try not to host with retarded companies like Squarespace which cave to cancel culture. It is hard to find a quality host, though. The vast majority are either factory farming users and would be thrilled to see any user leave which utilizes their time or attention, or giant oligopolies like Amazon which make up the silicon valley mafia.
