We are interested in purchasing a server for storing a MySQL database that is used by an Android application. Just to understand, does the server only need to support MySQL, or are other requirements for a server for mobile use?

To access the database “directly” (like it was local), this could help: MySql remote database manipulation in Android
But you might need some additional server functionality, at least in the future. Then you could use a server which also offers PHP. PHP + MySQL are usually offered together, it’s very common/popular and it’s cheap. Since you don’t seem to have any special requirements for the server functionality, PHP is probably suitable.
