    If I may, why don't you take a free hosting service that has already everything you want?

    surge.sh comes to mind but you have other alternative.

    Do thy allow one to choose the server name?



    The below assumes that you are talking about the domain name
    (domain-name.TLD) and not the type of httpd server.

    If you have your own domain name, you can generally use it with a
    hosting service.
