I've always gone with Vultr (vultr.com) for BSD VMs, its properly supported by them and while I've never hard verified this, they seem like a nice smaller player. Like they have offered Open/Free BSD VM's for > 10 years, kind of nice.
Does DigitalOcean still only propose up to 4 basic cpu as droplet maximum ?.
All their compute capacities disappeared overnight 2025/2026 without any reason.
They are cool, man they've grown. I used that when there were ~20 VM's on there. Its a great project but think its only physically in Amsterdam which is why I ended up moving back to vultr, as they have many more options.

I used buyvm.net for BSD a while back. Didn't have any issues, and the few times I contacted their support they were quick to respond and helpful.
rootbsd.net before that, but they don't seem to exist anymore.
I run OpenBSD at netcup.de for €2/month. It's very low-spec, but it's enough.

I heard all the RAM scheduled to be manufactured next year had already been sold out. Maybe that's a related phenomenon?

e.g. Hetzner tripled prices recently.

For a little bit more you can rent on https://openbsd.amsterdam - they also donate to the OpenBSD foundation!
