Hello everyone. I just tried to create an account with linode and got the automated cancellation email due to fraud, which left a bad taste in my mouth about the company before I even had the chance to get started.
So I am looking for alternatives that won’t break the bank, have linux options, and are fairly easy to use once you get up and running. I dont need to do anything complex, just host my small hobby projects that I’m hacking away at. I don’t have anything ready now, but I thought that with new years and all that it might be a good time to snag some deals.
Do you guys know of anything that fits? Thanks!

Hetzner is perhaps the cheapest option.

There are reports of issues with creating an account, as Hetzner also has some form of protection against fraud.
That being said I myself never had any issues and been renting a dedicated server for years now. Their cloud is also amazingly cheap (in Europe).

I’ve been using them for at least several months and never had an issue
