    Perhaps you’d like DeluxHost.

    You can pay with crypto (I never tried it).

    And they use to offer but only through this website.

    • 2 cores
    • 8 GB Ram
    • 80 GB disk
    • 10 gbps network (symmetrical)
    • “fair-use” bandwidth (15 TB/month)
    • a static IPv4 address
    • a /64 static IPv6 block
    • located in Europe

    For 18 Euros per year.

    Now, to set some expectations. For 18 EUR per YEAR:

    1. You’re NOT getting 99.999% uptime
    2. That said, they are pretty reliable (especially as a hobbist platform)
    3. For this price point, you’re not getting blazing fast hardware.
    4. The reliability does depend a lot on your neighbors
    5. The biggest problem I’ve had is with IO (and high/unusable IO-waits). I’ve had IO operations blocked for 5 minutes.
    6. However, their Support is really helpful, if you’re not a jerk nor expecting 99.999% uptime with SLA’s. And you can provide timestamps when issues occur, they will go out of their way to try to improve the situation.
    7. I did have issues with their network 6 months ago, but they did some migrations and I haven’t noticed any issues.
    8. You will want to look at their Fair-use document, to see what you’re allowed and not allowed to do with your bandwidth.

    That said, I’m very satisfied with them… but, at this price point, I won’t be surprised if they “disappear in a year”.

    When I look at what other VPS companies are offering for 18 Eur: I feel I’m getting a much better value from DeluxHost.
