Same for the AWS version. They took some good steps on isolating it pretty well (EU citizen run it etc) which is worth applauding, but to think it's actually independent is naive. Even the lowliest of AWS employees knows where his bread is buttered and in which jurisdiction the ultimate decision makers live.
Same, a few years ago when I wanted to run my own email they were about the best option for a dedicated box with at least 32gb ram... enough for a mail VM and to take over what I had across several smaller DO and Linode cloud/vps servers. I should probably reach out as the current pricing has 64gb servers at the same price I've been paying for 32gb... not that I need it, but it could be useful... I also may expand from a /29 to a /28 IPv4 CIR. I have no idea how to properly configure IPv6 (default gateway? etc... the dashboard only lists the address range assigned)
I do wish there were better tutorials on configuring ProxMox to handle what I tried to configure... I had 3 nics, the public nic and 2 virtual devices... I had the CIDR block on one and an internal/nat config on the 3rd. Literally my first time using OpenAI, and even that felt like pulling teeth through the obvious errors. I finally got it all working, but 3 years out I'll probably have to work through it again... though with a bigger CIDR, will probably just omit the NAT or have a OpnSense VM to bridge them with less ipv4 constraint.
Mine has been around $130 USD/month, which is a bit more, but I'm in a US data center closer (network wise) to my physical location.

I recommend OVH, been with them for like 6 years for cheap VPSes and they're fine
I’ve got a dedicated box with them, 12 threads 64gb memory, 2x 512gb nvme and it costs €30 a month. Can’t really beat those prices anywhere..

Not sure about dedicated servers but Hetzner is a bit cheaper on VPS if I remember correctly.
