You should try VPS on Linux. It's cheaper than VPS with Windows. I figured out Linux and VPS very quickly, it's easy. I chose between G-core and DigitalOcean, which seems to be more popular, but G-core is more profitable. They have many excellent VPS in the range of 3-20$ and the ability to connect additional DDoS protection for 2-5$.

For VPS on Linux, you pay an average of 20-30$ less for the same technical characteristics.

You're right, VPS on Linux is cheaper, and in terms of functionality it is the same. It's just easier with Windows. There is another option to connect virtual machines as a load dilution. Does G-core have VMs?

Yeah from time to time I rent Virtual Machines from G-core. The price is good and I can order a specification for myself.
