There are several dedicated server providers in US but not much is known about their track review.

OVH has a datacenter in Toronto which may close enough to the US for many people. They provide dedicated servers.

OVH's Toronto datacentre is not operational yet. But you can pre-order. It's going to be interesting to see what this does to pricing for the Toronto hosting and compute market, as that location has always been more expensive compared to other North American locations. Right now it looks like OVH will not be offering their lower tier offers out of the Toronto DC.

OVH operates data-center close to Montreal (BHS), 8ms latency to NYC. Also it's 100% green hydro electricity powered.

Hydro power is not green. The benefit are it's cheap (in terms of cost to produce) and produces no CO2 emissions. The downside is it makes it harder to fish to travel from the ocean to their spawning sites. Like all power sources, it has benefits and drawbacks and it absolutely impacts the environment.

Hydro on the north of Quebec (most of % electricity produced) is not that a fish-reach area at all. But yes, on some areas in the world that's a concern.
