I am a happy customer of aruba cloud: https://www.arubacloud.com/ When I choosed my OS, only an out of date FreeBSD image was available, but = I easily updated it with freebsd-update. They might have updated it since then. They have many servers available in Europe, especially in Italy (it's an It= alian company). They also have often some discounts (right count I think they offer many di= scounts due to coronavirus). They also offer a 10 euros trial (at least in Italy, not sure= in other countries).
