Another vote for Hetzner Cloud, if you don’t mind it being in Germany, you can get even more memory and other specs on their ARM based ones. It does has pretty cheap backups and has DDoS protection and some basic firewall stuff built in all their VPSes.
I agree but having a more reliable printer you don’t have to fix is even better. It allowed me to start teaching myself CAD and now I spend time designing stuff around the house rather than fixing or upgrading the printer. I use Alibre Design, allows you to buy outright and no subscription if you don’t mind being on an older version.
