  Cheap, reliable, no/limited support: https://www.wholesaleinternet.net/dedicated/

  They're cheap because they're older hardware and they sell out to email spammers. Works great as long as you don't need a good IP reputation for email delivery.

  Cheapish, okay support, reliable in my experience:

  https://www.xlhost.com/

  -

  If you just need storage, this is some of the cheapest out there on a shared host:

  You are asking on HN which means you might want to look at M5Hosting, which hosts HN itself.

  Otherwise,

  I've been using OVHCloud for 8 years for running a dedicated server for personal use, for about $30/mo. Had zero issues, it just works for me, can highly recommend.

  I'd rent a server and make a couple support tickets and see how that goes (time until replied, time until fixed, if they have any clue what you are talking about?)

  What is that one company that bought like dozens of other hosting companies? I'd avoid all of them.

  btw I block all of datapacket's ips from most of my websites, not that that in of itself would be a problem for you, but ips from dpacket, ovh, digital ocean, and similar are blocked en masse from several places I control - I can't be the only one that puts trust things from them on a lower tier for reasons with whatever effects.

  Of course if you don't send email, you just need something that can serve files fast and stay online, but the support you get or don't get can cost more than the dollars you save in some cases.

  Ryzen 9 configs

  96GB+ DDR 4/5

  Starts at $199/month

  They usually have a good Black Friday deal.

  I have a VPS with Crunchbits and I’ve been pretty happy with it. They also have dedicated servers: https://www.crunchbits.com/dedicated#Plans

  Same story with Racknerd: https://www.racknerd.com/dedicated-servers (they have new years deals rn too!)

  FYI, I have come across OVH, which is something I want to avoid. Why? Among other things, I find the UI of the console terrible. It really is bad; Hetzner on the other-hand is incredible. But they have no US-based dedicated boxes.

  Probably not the cheapest, but i throw the hoster of my servers here: https://www.netcup.com/en/hosting

  They recently expanded to the us.

  Leaseweb works well for me, even though their administrative side can be a nightmare (need a new account for each country).

  RamNode and HostHatch.

  First has great support and second has horrible to say the least support. Both are cheap and reasonably stable
