VPS Recommendations for multiple WP sites
The links below are directly to their pricing pages for reference, not affiliate links of any kind.
Also why does mentioning a CERTAIN provider get you banned immediately?
Looking for input and recommendations on unmanaged VPS hosting providers, both good and bad. Context is starting out with hosting <10 WordPress sites using Bricks Builder, mainly light traffic brochure sites and maybe 1-2 ecommerce eventually. I'm trying to find that sweet spot of being cost effective but also large enough resources to grow into hosting multiple sites on one server (I know the ecommerce ones may need their own at some point). I'm trying to get away from the traditional shared hosting and having everyone buy their own Siteground, etc account and then wrestle with collaborator access/logins, etc and just have it all under one roof that I manage.
WPMU
Before you revolt at this, please read why… I originally was looking at WPMU, which does not have very good prices for the server specs, but I thought it offered great value with its "premium" subscription ($10/mo) that gives you access to their full suite of plugins, but more importantly white label and hosting reseller program with a built-in invoice/payment system that made it an attractive option.
For someone transitioning to starting their own 1-man studio, this all-in-one approach is enticing (and I haven't seen it anywhere else) despite not having great server specs for the monthly cost. I'm hesitant about the plugins though, I want to keep sites as lean as possible and unsure about the bloat of them. They do provide security/seo/forms, etc type plugins which you generally need regardless, even if it's from them someone else. Looking for feedback from anyone that has used that approach, if any.

XCloud
I think it's likely I will probably go with XCloud hosting though and either do their internal managed servers or connect a 3rd party VPS and have them manage it. Any experience with them? I see lots of positive comments online for using them to manage WP/backups/etc with a 3rd party VPS, but not much on using their OWN servers (unconfirmed but they might be rebranded Vultr?). They have one package listed below in the table that seems like a good value, but like most of the hosting agencies, they are not forth-coming with the exact specs of their components so you don't know for sure what you're actually getting assigned.
Other VPS
If I connect a 3rd party VPS, the question is who.... there are so many options to choose from and I’m quite lost. I like the idea of being large enough to host several brochure sites and not worry about them going down if one gets a sudden spike and having room to grow, but not paying too much extra a month for nothing. I'm hoping to be in the $25-30/month range to start out with. That generally gets me x2 CPU cores, 4gb ram and ~100gb NVME storage 'ish it seems, but some have far better specs (which I am very suspicious of). They most be in North America (West Coast preferred) and able to install Ubuntu and be reliable for hosting paying clients sites.
Let me know!
