I need to create a new site in PHP and need to host in cloud. Can anyone say in which DB I can host my site?

Most probalby the database is Mysql

Typically MySQL goes hand in hand with php but you can use any you like.

sqlite might be an option for you

A simple search in Google could have led you here - first result for:

what databases can I use with php

http://php.net/manual/en/faq.databases.php

Pretty much any DB you want to use. However, there are very good "wrappers" / abstractions for these too and you will probably find the most convenient and best supported to be PDO (with mysql) or mysqli. DO NOT use mysql_* functions as they have been deprecated.

Each DB engine and wrapper has its own pros and cons, so there is no such thing as "best".

SQLite: https://www.sqlite.org/features.html Easy but lacking the power of a full RDBMS - it may be suitable.

There are also NoSQLs such as MongoDB - but these can be very tricky and are not appropriate for many uses.
