I'm using Hetzner cloud right now and it's affordable and quality is good. You can do snapshots and have monitoring, etc. If you're just running plain Linux VM's running some software without need for additional AWS-like services or fancy orchestration, it's good value for money. I also have a couple of dedicated Hetzner hosts - also remarkably stable, but it will of course take longer to rebuild if it goes down. You should have a continuity plan in place.
