Not being able to host my web apps made it a no for me
Comment on Mullvad's ads are good

Mullvad disabled port forwarding. Bad for torrents. That was when everyone I know stopped using it.

Hosting a website over a VPN is not a great idea anyways. You should use something like Cloudflares proxied domains or tunnels. Your users will get far better performance and you’ll see significantly less load on your network.

It would be holepunching through (excluding apps but at the port level)
But the apps are for myself

What VPN is left that I can use to host my website with open ports 80 and 443 ?

For other ports, you can use AirVPN. For 80 and 443, rent a cheap vps and use it as a reverse proxy, then point it to your actually open ports. Or just host on the cheap vps.

Yes, that’s what I do, but then my address isn’t mixed with hundreds of other users, I wish I could have a web service, with a dynanic dns domain name and letsencrypt certificates but the anonymous front that a vpn provides.

None I assume. No sane VPN provider will let their users do that.

I moved to AriVpn As Mullvad stopped supporting port forwarding. I can recommend Air.

Still a good VPN for other stuff

Yeah, a service doesn’t need to meet everyone’s use case to be good. Allowing port-forwarding meant that the VPN was used for crimes that put Mullvad at risk. Hosting websites and torrents is good and all, but it is not the hill to die on with privacy.
If they were secretly making them public, that’d be an issue, but they’re just denying people the option.
