once I have my contract coded, UI and everything else needed for my dapp project. What should I look for on a hosting drv. provider?

Just use Github Pages
Your dapp is a bunch of static files anyways

I meant to host the UI web front end that will talk to the contract

Yep.
"Talk to the contract" is using Jsonrpc anyways

So your web frontend is a html+ JavaScript+css bundle.
Github pages will host those for you for free, including support for https
You really don't need anything more complicated that that

@kirushik I didn't mean the hosting of the project files. I am sorry if I didn't explain myself right..
What I meant is a hosting service for the web front end. Webhosting

But so do I!
Have a look: https://github.com/critical-chain/critical-chain.github.io hosts web front end for my pet project.
The files in that repo are served on critical-chain.github.io domain, which is the canonicalized as cc-ng.pimenov.cc (because I happen to have my own domain and prefer to use it)

That's is. Whatever I push to that repo of mine, will be instantly served on a critical-chain.github.io website.
Simple, free, secure enough — and quite reliable; especially if you throw in something like workbox.js (https://github.com/GoogleChrome/workbox) for application caching.
