I wouldn't use it for super important services.... But, I hear OVH/SoYouStart have decent servers. Their support & uptime are pretty shoddy at the best tho.

All of our machines at Paperspace https://paperspace.com have GPUs and our pricing is much more affordable (disclaimer: I'm one of the founders). Currently only Windows but Linux is coming soon :)

I'll bite. WHY? the crazy spot price? whats wrong with physical hardware? The "cheapest" option is to just buy some graphics cards; but that doesn't scale well. Is that why you need "GPU SERVERS"? Your question is meaningless without some background information. What are you doing, ML? What's your stack? how much memory do you need?
If a hosting company goes through the trouble of installing GPUs, its usually because their customer is trying to use the GPU to accelerate computations, such as those in machine learning. As a result, they charge a hefty premium.
Pricing is interesting. As far as I understand your service is remote Desktop but the VMs can also used as dedicated server. Will there be an API?
I need to play around with some "remote rendering" via paraviewweb but can't use my own hardware.
