Google Compute Engine
I just set up a Google Compute Engine instance running Debian 8, Nginx and PHP. It didn't take very long, either. At this point I've set up servers on Rackspace AWS Google Cloud HP Digital Ocean I've installed PHP, Apache, Nginx, MySQL, and setup Google Cloud SQL, App Engine and various other Google Cloud services.
