What you need to do is leave the board connected to your computer and watch the serial monitor to capture the output during the crash. If the board has a true crash it will output a bunch of information which may tell you why you it is crashing. It could be a strings/heap problem or maybe a memory issue since you are declaring a new http object every 5 seconds. Maybe try putting the HTTPClient http; line up where you declare the host variable so that it is a global variable and not a local variable.

Since your loop doesn't test to make sure the wifi connection is still good then if you get a disconnection then the program will just fail and never try to re-connect. So at the start of your main loop put the same wifi testing logic that is also in the setup function. If the connection is down then reset and start from the very beginning to re-establish the wifi connection.

if (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    ESP.reset()
  }
