I use Dokku on top of Hetzner for my hobby projects - hosting is super cheap, for a little extra I can add a mounted volume for storage, and if the project outgrows a single server I can always just break out of Dokku and use some Docker containers behind a load balancer.

If you are outside of Europe, Digital Ocean or Linode may work better for you.

I like Hetzner, they certainly radiate the feeling of quality (the management UI is great, for instance). The servers themselves are competitively priced (and they have ARM boxes!) - but for more storage than the little that they include I find the price pretty outrageous, compared to the base price, anyway. You'd end up about doubling the price for a "reasonable" amount of storage you can confidently run your base system on.

Hetzner has 2 data centers in the US now. 1 in the east and 1 in the west.
