Because those are the currently supported versions of FreeBSD. Going
non-supported versions is really not worth the effort (unless you specificly need something special). 

Anyway, for other hosting, perhaps you can modify the steps in guides on how others have
done for how they got FreeBSD bootstrapped into other cloud hosting, such as
https://www.adminbyaccident.com/freebsd/how-to-upload-a-freebsd-custom-image-on-digitalocean/

Or
https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/install-freebsd-on-linode/

And modify what they've done to whatever cloud hosting you want to attempt to use.
Running on a cloud provider that provides supported FreeBSD images is definately easier.

Because there are an infiniate different configurations, it's hard to say.
I find the easiest out-of-the-box experience (not one I use much actually)
would be nginx with certbot-nginx plugin. If that matches your use case,
it goes pretty slick.
