Comment on which VPS do you recommend?

Not uncommon really. Bring in customers at the cheap tier and then once they’re in your ecosystem overcharge for the higher tiers.

Idk, most of the bigger VPS services don’t have anything like that. Yeah, they have higher tiers, but you usually get similar or better value as you go up.

Good point, I imagine you’re right! I haven’t shopped many VPS services, I was venting about the general practice I’ve seen in other services before.

Fair. Here are some that I find to be pretty consistently competitive:
I’ve used each and liked each. They’re rarely the absolute cheapest, but they are usually competitive at all tiers with no pretty much no shenanigans. I’m currently with Hetzner, which has been good for the few months I’ve been with them, but I’ve spent multiple years with the other two.
