I don’t really have a serious threat model. But if I host a VPS, I might as well do it with a privacy respecting company if the cost difference isn’t massive.
Preferably something under $15 per month. I’m not necessarily looking for the cheapest, but the best general value per dollar ideally.
njal.la and 1984hosting have very good reputation in our circles. I would add that for most cases when a strong Nation State adversary is not part of your threat model, a proper workers cooperative is even better.
