Currently game and databse is using web server hosting and for socket io using glitch.

I am looking for combined solution for this…

Can anyone suggest me more about it?

Amazon (AWS) would work fine, but they’re relatively expensive. If you’re just starting out check out providers like Digital Ocean, Vultr and Linode. All three of them offer cheap $5/month virtual private servers which are powerful enough for a small number of players. 1TB of bandwidth per month is included in the price. You can install NodeJS, Socket.io and your DB of choice very easily.
