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've been using Linode (now owned by Akamai) for a couple years now and have enjoyed their pricing / service.

I've been using Linode for a handful of years and Digital Ocean for about 10 years.

Linode has a muuuuch better interface with way more access, control, and vision over your VPSs.

It beats AWS and maybe ever Azure. Definitely way better than Google cloud platform.

Linode is not for privacy at all.

Neither is any "cloud" really

Not true. There are providers that aren't KYC and allow you to pay in crypto.
