Heck if you've got more than 3 VPSes, show em all off if you want.
Providers are more than welcome to post their own top 3s as well.

One of my Top 3 VPS

VPS Name: SKVM-4G
Price: $40 / yr
CPU: 2x AMD EPYC 7302P
RAM: 4GB
Disk: 75GB
Bandwidth: 3TB

The prem and fragrant VPS I ever had in Singapore. Very stable performance. @MaxKVM and the team are very helpful. Not latest but recent YABS below.
⭕ A simple uptime dashboard using UptimeRobot API https://upy.duo.ovh
⭕ Currently using VPS from BuyVM, GreenCloudVPS, Gullo's, Hetzner, HostHatch, InceptionHosting, LetBox, MaxKVM, MrVM, VirMach.
Provider Name: HostHatch

Price: $30/year
CPU: 2 x E5-2690 0 @ 2.90GHz
RAM: 8GB
Disk: 40 GB NVMe

2x Intel E5-2690 v2 @ 3.0Ghz (50% dedicated, burstable up to 200%) noice
8GB ram noice

This gotta be MVV (most valued vps) of the year. as dosai mentioned i'm very happy as well. well balanced all around performance. good disk IOPS. Network is fast my man. Will be shifting production over soon.

I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
Damn. I haven't even had a chance to make a complete list :$.
Ranked 2nd for me.....
Avoro
Vserver Winteraktion 2019
EUR 15,88 / 6 months (excluding VAT)
2x AMD EPYC 7352 @ 2.3Ghz (unlimited use / burst) noice
6GB DDR4 ECC ram noice
30GB SSD
2TB @ 10gbps noice
Germany (forgot exactly where)
This would have been the BEST VALUE for money, a really hard fight for the first place, it really depends on what one likes. for some it can be truly unbeatable price/performance. Minor network outage but no VPS downtime over the year apart from migrating from Intel Gold to EPYC. really good. SSD looks like a solid hardware raid 10. very well configured.
less network bench as it causes them to drop connection for a while. running production so...

2019 vintage one from @seriesn is still setting the bar for me. Vintage indeed - genuine collectors piece:
If the specs sound fuzzy that's because it is. Because it's a once-off I can't find any record of what exactly it is lol. It was also born as a Intel gold not Ryzen, the RAM wasn't NVMe and the RAM was a double via ticket so very little of it is a stock VPS haha
Judging from the other posts the avg RAM is creeping up pretty fast, but think this will still hold it's own for quite a while

That's an insane price. I think it was one of those flash sales they did when they were still relatively new here.
I think I was robbed! No more cough syrup for me.

Now post BF, CM, Christmas, and all those deals, I just realized I missed grabbing a cheap and small 512mb VPS in EU (preferably NL, FR or DE) I need ?
Guess I’ll just have to wait for New Year miracle deal(s).
For domain registrations, create an account at Dynadot (ref) and spend $9.99 within 48 hours to receive $5 DynaDollars!
Looking for cost-effective Managed/Anycast/DDoS-Protected/Geo DNS Services? Try ClouDNS (aff).
Something wrong with Luxembourg? Heh heh.
