Need VPS or dedicated server in Central US

Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a VPS or dedicated server located in the Central US — somewhere like Chicago, St. Louis, or nearby states. My budget is around $15/month, but I can go up to $35/month if the specs and reliability are good.
I need it to run Linux, mainly for hosting a few services.
I've been looking at Contabo, but I've heard mixed things about their network and support, so I'm not fully sold on it yet.
If you know any good alternatives with solid uptime and reasonable pricing, please drop your recommendations!
Thanks in advance. 🙏

    I would definitely not recommend Contabo. They oversell their vpses leading to poor performance.

    These are some of the hosts I would recommend! All excellent providers with good rep

    Unfortunately, storage is pretty strict on these, I do apologize.

    You're right — thanks for pointing that out.
    It should be Haskovo (we used the Turkish spelling "Hasköy" by mistake).
