Recommended VPS Provider? (lemmy.ml)

I'm looking to switch to a different VPS provider that is more privacy-respecting.

These are some I am currently considering:

1984
Bahnhof
Njalla a bit on the expensive side

I'm looking to host a matrix server, pleroma, rss feed reader, xmpp, syncthing, as well a few other services. Nothing bandwidth intensive, but I do need at least 3gb of ram. I'm also looking to use docker.

Anyone have any recommendations for such providers that aren't incredibly expensive?

Given how running a Matrix server uses an insane amount of storage space, most VPS with SSD storage will probably be insufficient. I would recommend hosting a snikket.org xmpp server instead. Much lower RAM use too.

I've gotten away just fine with 30GB of storage for matrix (only about 30% util). I'm hosting a xmpp server regardless.
