Hi Junior,
I use Digital Ocean for personal projects and I agree with everyone who loves it -- it's great. But I see you're running a Drupal site, like we do, and I'd encourage you to check out Pantheon.io. While much more expensive than DO, their platform is made for Drupal and the developer experience is very smooth. You can sign up for a free account and give it a test drive: https://pantheon.io/
Best,
Alyssa

I second Digital Ocean.
While not strictly for educational institutions, I've used them in a variety of contexts. And they keep an office and data center in NYC.
