I can relate to your problem regarding the memory optimized plan. Are you aware of any cloud provider, similar to Linode or DigitalOcean, which allow to specify the numbers of cores and GBs of memory by yourself? All the services I know only provide fixed machine types.

I'd love to be fully recommending gandi.net here. I've never had any issue with them reliability-wise however they've switched to some credit-based payment plan that I just can't seem to get my head round so I've stopped using them myself. If you're able to decipher their "no bullshit" credit system, have at it

Edit: Oh nice, they've added an "Or approximately £xx.xx per month" now. Might have to give them another go

Gandi seems to be exactly what I was referring to, thanks.
Glad to hear! Just noticed the price on the lowest tier drops significantly if you lose the IPv4 address too, nice

I may have recommended a service to myself here, an odd moment for sure

Linode used to let you pay extra to add just more memory (or bandwidth or disk) but they took that option away a few years ago. I would imagine it makes provisioning the hardware a lot more difficult.

I have no idea if they're any good.
