Any recommendations for cheap VPSs in Europe? The company should be basee in Europe, not just the server location.

Hetzner and OVH are both great value for money, you'll find bad stories for every big hoster but they are professional (Someone will post the OVH fire story as a reply of that most likely, but that's not something that happens regularly) and a lot of the VPS resellers will sell you stuff that is hosted there too.

Hetzner, Scaleway.

I tried a Scaleway dedi and it was very slow. Turned out storage IO was a problem. Just my experience with one product but it put me off them.

Many smaller providers too.

Can recommend both, but add netcup and layer7.net to those.

To add to the other comments, had good experiences with Netcup and Contabo

In the last years, many of the smaller German hosting companies were acquired by larger corporations. Netcup is owned by Anexia (Austria) now, Contabo was acquired by KKR (US), Hosteurope by Godaddy (US). If you're looking for hosting in the EU, you probably also want to avoid US-owned providers.

Leaseweb is quite cheap these days, though they seem to have stopped serving non-business customers. Budget hosts like Hetzner and Contabo may suffice, but make sure to check if they bothered to patch their servers (Contabo's EPYC servers are running on outdated microcode that allows leaking CPU cache between VMs for instance).

OVH is also popular but I found their network speeds kind of limiting. It's been a while since I last checked out their offerings, though.

Hetzner has been amazing. I'd choose them regardless of the Europe requirement.

Adding my vote for Hetzner and Netcup!

Ovh is fine
