My go-to for things like this is to start with lowendbox.com.  This is
not a provider; it is a blog that takes, as submissions, suggestions
for hosting companies in the low-end space.  At one time, that meant
about $7/mo or less.  I have two services currently and have had more
in the past, from providers listed on this site.  One is a "storage
VPS", meaning one that provides a lot of disk space, and the other is
a hosting provider that provides a lot of RAM, which is useful for
running packaged software that may use a Java daemon or two.

They'll let you choose a base OS (CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian are all
typical choices).  From there, you set up what you want.  It's ideal
for people like us, who may want a machine in the cloud to host
services and to tinker with, but don't want to spend a lot of money
doing it.

A caution, though:  this is not going to be as simple as running
GSuite.  Personally, on my domain, with a single user, I'm probably
going to keep Google Workspace, since it's only $6/mo for my single
user, at least until they start raising prices (and I suspect they
will).
