Bouught a VPS with one provider for a few months and overall it was okay,
but there were a few issues that started getting annoying.
Sometimes speed was fine, sometimes it was just dead slow for no reason. Had some connection drops too and support was mostly "we are checking"

Nothing toooo crazy, moved away from them.

What VPS are you guys using these days? Looking for something stable, don't really care about fancy stuff. Any suggestions?

I’ve been with Vultr for half a decade now, mostly deploying simple landing pages. Never had an issue with downtime nor loading speeds.
 
Depending on your use, I assume you want something with a solid (real) up-time guarantee and a somewhat responsive (real) type of support.

One thing is that it's almost never worth it to jump on any sort of too good to be true sounding promo pricing (not saying this was the case).
Hosts that oversell their infrastructure based on low end pricing may end up exactly that - oversold, which mean sub-par performance and support not being able to handle the client volume either.

I'd look primarily for references, contract conditions, if you can talk to actual staff, and track record - beyond the metal part and specifications, as that's what usually makes all the difference.

Based on two decades of first-hand experience I can recommend MojoHost.

Yeah, I've found Vultr to be quite reliable for straightforward websites as well. For basic landing pages, a good VPS along with caching will do just fine.

Slow speed can mean many different things. It could be your website, your server's resources RAM/CPU or even bandwidth availability.

Did your host tell you what exactly was wrong? This information is crucial for giving you a recommendation.

Any mainstream VPS host should be just fine for most cases.
 
Yeah, random slowdowns are really annoying. Had that problem before too.
 
It would be better if you mentioned what you need the VPS for. That way, we can give you more relevant recommendations based on your requirements.
 
If your budget can allow and you want to safe from this such issues, you can actually get a fully dedicated server with a good network, these issues happen, as like many of the shared hosting providers, many VPS providers also oversell their physical hardware and the network, so once there is a high load on the system, or one of the VPS, all VPS hosted on that node or system suffers, actually its a bad practice in terms of quality for those hosts, but many shared hosting and VPS providers do that.
 
If you could mention price paying now, and roughly how much traffic/load does the VPS handle? That would make it easier to suggest the right level. These days, most decent hosts have affordable VPS plans that work perfectly fine for low to medium usage.
 
You should use NVME SSD VPS with litespeed and better configuration so that speed will be faster, try at CheapHoster
