Anyone got any VPS recommendations for a guy who knows fuck all about VPS?

The idea is to start with a small/static site then move up and mess with other stuff (e.g. making small apps, Maloja, ATProto/Bluesky PDS) - I have no plans of, say, hosting a fediverse instance in the long-term. I'm thinking around the lines of 1-2GB RAM.

DigitalOcean seems to be best for new users but is also more expensive compared to Hetzner so IDK. Also allowing recommendations for other VPS providers.
