Hetzner has been solid for me ( and eu based if that is relevant for you ).

I have smallest, $1/mo + VAT Racknerd VPS for exactly this purpose. Even latency from Europe is not so bad at ~130 ms. Didn't find anything comperable in price in EU. https://lowendbox.com/blog/new-vps-specials-by-racknerd-kvm-vps-in-multiple-locations-from-10-96-year/

The price hike is only if you use Plesk. You can continue using the Ionos VPS for 1€/month as before. I doubt you were using Plesk before as it is an optional feature that is pretty useless.
If you generated a Plesk license key before, just delete it in your VPS server settings.
In my case I got the same email even though I never generated a Plesk license key, so I didn't need to do anything.
You can use Oracle: even with a 'pay as you go' account (just add a valid credit card), you can have your VPS for free if you stay within the free tier-limits (4 cores - 24 GB RAM - 200 GB disk). I have been using mine this way for 2 years or so. (see also this guide)
Well, I got that mail too and I also use a 1€ server of ionos, but the mail only mentioned the price of plesk.
When I looked at the service page plesk wasn't lizensed. So, are your sure you lizensed plesk? Because my usecase is fairly similar to yours...
Or did I got something wrong?

Look on lowendspirit.com. If you can live with ipv6-only you can get a little bit cheaper.

I use OVH for both VPS and a dedicated host, service is rock solid.
Personally I just skip the vps. I use my old HP laptop running fedora as my server (with cloudflared to expose my jellyfin and nextcloud because I live in a dorm and can't port forward)
I really like Orange Host. Good service and reliable and based in Iceland. https://www.orangehost.com/web-hosting
Vultr has been pretty good.

I have OVH for dedicated but I've also used their VPS and they're great. They leave me alone, don't hound me for anything, cheap prices, reliable as I've never had issues them. can't complain. They're Euro based but they have servers near me in Montreal so I use that which is great when I put my VPN on there cause now I get student discounts everywhere since my server is at McGill University.
