Cheap root server providers, mostly in Germany if nothing mentioned otherwise, all with own infrastructure (no resellers) and my personal experience. Note that prices mentioned in Germany are almost all the time incl. VAT, so you might be able so save 19% on those prices.

https://www.hetzner.de/us/hosting/produktmatrix/rootserver - Hands down my favorite. Very powerful hardware for the price, very professional, good network

https://www.webtropia.com/en/ - extremly cheap, many different offers, good quality, good option if price is very important

https://www.hosteurope.de/en/Server/ - The "Root Servers" they sell are actually VMs. High price but good quality

Note that scammers and spammers are well aware of the cheapest dedicated server providers and love to use them for hit and run attacks. That often results in subnet ban for the whole provider's datacenter. Although if you're only after backend hardware resources and not care about SEO, email deliverability and such - then this list is good.

Otherwise be aware.
