Depends what you’re looking for, what you want to pay.
I host dedicated machines for a bunch of clients, who get a realio-trulio
machine (something like a DL360) with unlimited transfer and the OS of their
choice. If they want it, they even get maintenance and after-hours on-call
tech staff

Maybe not so much in practice. I landed at Pearson late last night, returning

Lots of important people lost power as well, so the feds decided to let the
