OVH has US and Canadian data centres, and free bandwidth and DDoS protection. Ive been using them for about 5 years and they are very reliable.

Seconded. Happy OVH user here. We run 10 baremetal servers in CA and EU, using KVM, ZFS and "fallback IPs" so that we can move VMs around easily. Borg for backups to another provider.

But yeah, because of clouds, old school sysadmin skills can be difficult to find.
