If you are in Europe, go with Hetzner.

I’m using a 4.83€/month (incl. VAT) VM from OVH to host 5 very low traffic websites in a Debian VM. No problem so far.

But I’ve used the tutorials from Digital Ocean to learn how to configure and secure it. They are very clear and well written.

My experience with Hetzner support has been poor, to say the least. I had the exact opposite experience of Linode and DO.

Last time I used Linode, IIRC their API was limited compared to DO, it was more than a year ago.

Every feature of the new Linode cloud manager https://cloud.linode.com is backed by the new Linode API (v4) https://developers.linode.com/

The previous version of the API (v3) was definitely missing parity with the old manager interface.

For us Europeans, Scaleway is even better
