Good hosting? (mbin.grits.dev)

Does anyone have recommendations for good VPS Linux hosting places? I used to recommend DigitalOcean, but I'm having a subpar support experience currently that sets off some slight alarm bells such that I might want to look elsewhere. What's good?

I was very happy with Vultr, but they weren't happy with my Linux isos.

Using linode now, the backup system is more expensive and the emulated terminals don't seem as nice as I remember vultr but I'm still very happy with it, especially for the price.

Also used Vultr for a few years with no real issues!

Okay, I just signed up and from the tiny bit I see I really like Vultr.

Also, for new customers they have discount codes. I went with $250 credit for new customers, and then after I signed up, learned that it only applies to money you spend during your first 30 days.

LOOKS LIKE MACHINE LEARNING'S BACK ON THE MENU BOYS

Edit: Also, this is the kind of thing that tends to inspire confidence:

Got it, thanks for the recommendation, I poked at both of them a little and it seems like what I'm looking for.

Also, out of curiosity I looked at Vultr's GPU options and said "oh sweet they offer options with tons of GPU RAM if I want" and then looked over and saw it was $3,500-$14,000 a month.
