Any recommendations for VPS? (lemm.ee)

Does anyone have experience with a good privacy-focussed VPS provider? What do you recommend?

I've been using 1984 for quite a while and they have been solid but they have just put their prices up. It's still affordable but I thought it would be a good time to have another look at what else is out there.

Genuine question for everyone. Are their any VPS providers that are not privately focused?

I was under the impression data privacy is very important in the data center world. VPS would be included in that.

However as far as i understand for all of them it is just a policy to not snoop. They could break in and snoop on your data if they really wanted to or were legally forced to do so. You can get around this by encrypting your data on the VPS.
