OVH VPS - realistic price for offered hardware. You can run it 100% all time and there won't be any problems.
Contabo - high CPU overbooking. I did test their VPS and it's same machine as in their 'dedic' offer. Which means, that after splitting it into soooo many VPSes (that dedic has 256 GB RAM = 32 * 8GB VPSes), you will get 'guaranteed' ~0.13 of single core of i9-9900K (0.13 of 1 core of 8 cores), but a lot of people buy it and do not use CPU. So in tests I could get power of around 2 cores of i9-9900K for 5$. If you are unlucky, you will get few other VPSes that use much CPU (as ots) and then your server will be very slow.

Hetzner - only in europe.

For 20 players you must use Free Tier AWS, 1GB RAM and 1 vCPU, 15GB of data transfer free, for 1 year. Then, just create another account and migrate
 
Yeah, it is a rl map so files are bigger, i was thinking ovh but i needed opinions , will look around for more

It's slower than Contabo.
For test server with 10-20 online, I would use Contabo.
For RL map server with 50-100 online, I would use OVH as their resources are closer to 'guaranteed' values, not 'optimistic' (hoping nobody else will use it).

And what about 500-1000 online? Just wondering :) what would you recommend?

Top 'gaming dedic'. OTS runs mostly on single core of CPU, so you need CPU with fastest single core speed (often high 'GHz' - gaming CPU for desktops).
There are 'game' offers in OVH (USA/europe) and Hetzner (only europe), which have gaming CPUs:
Full Game Server range (https://us.ovhcloud.com/bare-metal/game/prices/) (Ryzen 5600X and better)
https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-ax (AMD - Ryzen 3700X and better)
https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-ex (Intel - 8700 and better)

'Eloth' started on i7-4790K 'gaming dedic' years ago in OVH. Now it runs on i9-9900K or even faster CPU.

------------------------------
I did tests of VPSes in few datacenters in 2020. They all run on 2.2-2.4 GHz CPUs - classic datacenter CPUs with 10-32 cores. They are not good for OTS with a lot of players.
