[Cryptography] Seeking recommendations for a dedicated server/VPS provider

[Ron Garret]

Subject line says it all.  My server provider, which I have been happily using for fifteen years (Zerolag), was recently acquired by a Big Faceless Corporation whose people seem to be only marginally competent, so I am on the prowl for an alternative.  My baseline plan is to just use AWS because, although Amazon is the paragon of the Big Faceless Corporation, they are competent and their products Just Work the vast majority of the time.  But I’m willing to pay a considerable premium to be able to call a tech support line and have a competent human pick up the phone.  Does anyone here have a provider they can recommend?

Thanks,
