OVH has an option for $3.50 (which I think is _cheaper_ than it was when I signed up a couple years ago, and I don't _think_ I'm looking at CAD pricing)... Compare:

OVH: https://us.ovhcloud.com/vps/

  1 vCore, Memory 2 GB, Storage 20 GB SSD SATA, Public bandwidth 100Mbps [ed. - "unlimited traffic"], $3.50

DO: https://www.digitalocean.com/try/new-pricing The new Droplet priced at $4/month has 1 vCPU, 512MB memory, 500GB bandwidth, and a 10GB SSD Disk. It will be available on July 1, 2022.

And then Linode (I assume you were referencing the 1GB Shared CPU option): https://www.linode.com/pricing/

  RAM CPUs SSD Storage Transfer Network In Network Out Monthly
  1 GB 1 25 GB  1 TB  40 Gbps  1 Gbps  $5

And I wasn't going to include Vultr from my sibling comment at first, but then I checked them out, and they're significantly different enough to mention: https://www.vultr.com/pricing/

"Regular Performance", last-gen Intel CPU and regular SSD; not a typo that this lists the first configuration twice, with two different prices - that's what they show as of 5/16/2022 1PM ET:

  vCPUs Memory Bandwidth Storage Monthly
  1 vCPU 0.5 GB 0.50 TB 10 GB $2.50 /mo
  1 vCPU 0.5 GB 0.50 TB 10 GB $3.50 /mo
  1 vCPU   1 GB 1.00 TB 25 GB $5.00 /mo

"High Frequency", 3GHz+ Intel Xeon CPU and NVMe SSD:

  1 vCPU   1 GB 1.00 TB 32 GB $6 /mo

And finally "High Performance", AMD Epyc/Intel Xeon (pricing the same for both) with NVMe SSD:

  1 vCPU   1 GB 2.00 TB 25 GB $6.00 /mo

I didn't have an opinion coming into this, just was looking at another potential host for my small projects, but Linode, OVH and Vultr clearly win here vs. DigitalOcean.

Note that this doesn't take into account personal preferences (I think some people don't like OVH because of concerns about their data center physical safety, with that recent-ish fire, which, fair), datacenter locations, etc. etc.; but assuming parity on quality etc., I think those three are all better options, with Vultr especially having a lot of of flexibility.

I apologize for formatting and term confusion in this post, didn't have the time to clean it up more, and didn't want to editorialize the original sites too much. I will just say I hate how we use "bandwidth" to both mean "data transfer speed" and "monthly data transfer limit"...
