There are a few providers in the low end VPS community which are constantly ranked among the top providers, such as BuyVM, Ramnode and Prometeus.

Those plans are most likely slightly more expensive than the regular plans, but should have less number of VPS to share the physical server and has more restrictions in terms of what can be run on the server to ensure the best service experience for everyone.
