It depends on your needs really. DO is fine for low budget projects. Just below them I would suggest Vultr. If you don't care about API's and that sort of thing, then Ramnode is even cheaper, but I've had issues with the user interface.

There are a bunch of aggregator sites that compare vps providers. Here are two of them. [1] [2] [3]

Disclaimer: These sites can be a bit spammy. Use NoScript / uBlock. Also, you really do get what you pay for, so as your business grows, you may wish to consider diversifying across providers.

[3] - https://www.serverhunter.com as mentioned by IronBacon, I totally forgot about this one.

Love it, but not sure that's a wise suggestion for someone clearly new to it all.

The aggregator sites are certainly spammy and take time to get used to. I primarily linked them as a list of VPS providers, prices, etc.. One can always go directly to the VPS main site.
Ramnode also has at times outright hostile customer support and a blatant disregard for customer privacy. Strongly advise against them.
They are for sure the bottom of the barrel. I threw that one in there because they have dirt cheap options.
