Any recommendations for VPS? (lemm.ee)

Does anyone have experience with a good privacy-focussed VPS provider? What do you recommend?

I've been using 1984 for quite a while and they have been solid but they have just put their prices up. It's still affordable but I thought it would be a good time to have another look at what else is out there.

I would recommend Hetzner. Their prices are pretty good, VPSs are under GDPR and they have servers in Germany, Finland, Singapore and the USA.

Encrypted traffic interception on Hetzner and Linode targeting the largest Russian XMPP (Jabber) messaging service.

The big ones are out of the question for me because they usually don't accept crypto that freely (plus KYC). Like, one of them, don't remember which, accepted Bitcoin (which is bad on its own, BTC's fees are bad for small transactions) - but only if you have a working card first! And I use crypto BECAUSE my card is not functional there!!
