MariaDB 10.4 (increased since Moodle 4.0)You have 10.5 of MariaDB which is higher than the min.
Avoid "jumping out of the pan and into the fire" by upgrading to 4.1!

But there is also 'last mile' ... how far away is server (hosting providers data centers) from you and your clients/students?
Sorry ... but ... even if you provide very detailed info about server needs, etc. that's beyond the scope of these forums! We could go on forever when it comes to price/cost/features! You have to do the research.
