Can recommend Hetzner (German IP). Good value and so far solid.
Before that I used OVH (French IP) for years but it ended badly. First they locked me out of my account for violating 2FA which I had not asked for or been told about, and would not provide any recourse except sending them a literal signed paper letter, which I had to do twice because the first one they ignored. A nightmare which went on for weeks. And then, cherry on the cake, my VPS literally went up in smoke when their Strasbourg data center burned down! Oops! Looks like your VPS is gone, sorry about that, here's a voucher for six months free hosting! Months later they discovered a backup but the damage was done. Never again.
I recommend Hetzner too. I've been a happy customer for a decade. Support, should you need it, works well and services are rock solid.
+1 for Hetzner
I'm also a switcher from ovh to hetzner. Good service, good support, fast machines, the administration website is very good (ovh was slow and ugly), snapshots and backups are cheap and directly available (AFAIR ovh snapshots required a monthly fee). Hetzner is Germany based, good for GDPR, and now they have data centers in USA too.
I switched from Vultr to Hetzner, mostly because I was annoyed at the screen-blocking prompt to accept the new EULA (included forced arbitration). Hetzner still has the forced arbitration, but the prices are good and I haven't found anything to be especially annoyed at.
