Building a lemmy instance, can anyone recommend a web host? (lemmy.ml)

I'm looking to wind up a lemmy instance for a subreddit that I mod that gets something like 1000 daily visitors. We mainly share photos, though daily visitors greatly outweighs active users. It would additionally not be federated. For personal security reasons, and home networking limitations, I want to find a web host. Could anyone suggest one of the many hosts out there would work best for someone in the US, won't drive me to the poor house, and can support these needs? I can afford like $40/month, or can buy years in advance if it's a good deal.

1000 daily visitors

it's not much, any non-micro vps from decent provider will do. For precise recommendations it'd be better to know where most of your users are located, latency is a bitch.

Sorry I thought I had that included. We're primarily in the US. Very rarely we see users from the UK though.

ramnode or linode will do, you'll need 2+GB of RAM.
