Linode?
Scaleway only has Paris and Amsterdam, otherwise another good option, cheaper too.
SecureDragon
What's wrong with the ones you mentioned already?
UpCloud?
That wouldn't have occurred to me but you're right. You can move your VPS from one DC to another, I think. I don't know if data is preserved though. @KuJoe ?
Securedragon does not function at all like Vultr,DO and they only have KVM in 1 location.
We provide residential IP based cloud solutions. What is your use case for these servers?
Hetzner, but the locations are both in germany.
What locations do you want? The main multi-location one not already listed is AWS, but there are a few single-location ones with hourly and cloud-like services, e.g. mnx.io, lunanode.com, netcup.de, hetzner.de, ovh.com, etc.
OVH Public cloud works fine.
ease of changing servers as in locations within their datacenters ?
Linode probably has the easiest and fastest method of migrating within each Linode datacenter as transfers happen at between 140-200MB/s within same datacenter at least and probably slower than between datacenters but even other providers don't have within same datacenter transfer speeds as fast as Linode.

If you mean just spinning up/down VPS check out Linode.com and Upcloud.com as well their locations compliment each other nicely.
I recommend you @vmhaus with his Bonsai control panel. If I am not wrong, there are two locations and the one in UK is working great.
Could you not spam? You only offer 1 location in Washington DC.
Also he said "reasonable prices" you guys charge like $50 for 1 GB of ram
It is. Your VM gets stopped, packaged up and then relaunched in the new location.
Linode or Hetzner?
Been using hetzner cloud for a couple of months, impressed so far
Hmm. I mentioned them as a single-location provider but they are actually in multiple locations (FR, DE, UK, PL, and CA, plus non-cloud servers in additional places). Nice.
But despite the sandbox instances I don't think they're in the same LET-friendly market as Vultr etc. Their cheapest instance under the "public cloud" label is the B2-7 at $26.40/month rented monthly, or 2x that much rented hourly. That's 7gb ram, 2 vcores, and 50gb ssd: dedicated resources but still pretty expensive compared to other stuff that's out there including actual dedis. And they charge even more for it at some locations (UK, DE).
I can't tell Upcloud is at LET level. Let's say that means you can rent an hourly instance at less than $7/month proportionately. https://www.upcloud.com/pricing/ shows a preconfigured 1GB instance at $5/month but it's not clear if you can rent it hourly. The hourly instances they do show start rather higher.
Actually it looks like even the cheapest OVH sandbox instance (basically VPS-SSD-1) is $10/month if you rent it hourly, so that's out of range too.
Does anyone know if OVH caps hourly charges to the monthly rate, if you use the server enough hours in a month?
