It depends on your expected usage level and your definition of expensive. Digital Ocean has the lowest entry price for VPSs but they are not the most affordable for larger droplet sizes if your usage doesn’t match their tier of RAM/Storage/CPU/Bandwidth.

My company currently manages $50k/yr in hosting with most of it on IBM Softlayer’s network. That’s my suggestion for most hosting as they have both virtual and bare metal servers along with other beneficial services like object storage, backups, CDN, etc.
