If you are unfamiliar with managing the server on your own then you can use a platform based hosting which let you use your favorite cloud infrastructure and manages the server for you. I think Cloudways does that. You can launch a Linode server and use their platform to manage your websites etc.

Linode can be a good option if you are comfortable managing a cloud server yourself, but for WordPress and WooCommerce the easiest setup depends on how technical you want to get.
If you use a cloud server like Linode, you will usually need to handle things such as:
For a normal WordPress site, the easiest route is usually WordPress hosting with a control panel and installer, because you can focus more on the website and less on the server setup:

For WooCommerce, I would pay extra attention to performance. Product pages, checkout, plugins, images, customer accounts and admin tasks can use more resources than a basic blog. If the site is mainly for selling products, it is worth comparing hosting that is more focused on WooCommerce:

My advice would be:

- server updates
- firewall setup

- PHP versions
- database setup
- SSL certificates
- backups

- monitoring
- WordPress security

My advice would be:
- choose WordPress hosting if you want the easiest setup for a normal WordPress site
- choose WooCommerce hosting if the website is an online store
- choose a cloud server or VPS if you want root access and are happy managing the server yourself
- avoid putting a live WooCommerce store on a server you have not secured, backed up and tested properly
