    Looking for entry level cheap VPS with reliable provider

    I am looking for an entry level VPS for a one e-commerce site using prestashop and one wordpress site. There will be limited traffic and will be coming from Germany. So I will prefer the VPS in the region.

    I already have VPS, dedis and cloud running with many top providers including KnownHost, Amazon, RackSpace and softlayer. I need this VPS for another person who has limited funds available right now.

    The maximum budget is 20$.
    I think in this price range its possible to get a VPS with 512MB-1G memory.
    Don't need lots of space, even 5G is enough, but will prefer 20G or more.
    100M port with atleast 10G+ bandwidth.

    I will be managing it myself and don't need much support, but want a reliable network and infrastructure. cPanel or any other paid control panel in not required due to the budget.

    Please suggest possible providers.

    BurstNet are very reliable. If you're confident with linux system administration i would use them- but their support is basic so if you don't know what you're doing, don't expect help.

    With that budget and managing it yourself there will be lots of options.

    What kind of processor power do you require?

    @LVPSHosting I am looking in EU general with good routes to Germany as all the traffic will come from Germany. The shopping cart is basically for a local restaurant.

    @stach14 I am not looking for lots of processing power, but you know wordpress in the hand of a novice users do need some processing power.

    @YDGH-Corey I will check the offering on them.

    $20 / month is fairly good budget for what you require. Do you have any specific location in mind?

    Your budget is good enough to get your specific requirements.
    If your planning to manage the server your self you should be able to find a 512MB for half the cost.

    I spent a whole day to find hosts in EU with mixed or good reviews and narrowed the list to following

    JaguarPC
    BurstNet
    buyvm
    hetzner
    kvmport & vmport
    vps6.net
    thrustvps
    domvps
    ramhost.us
    hostigation
    misterhost.de
    miniVPS
    intoVPS

    Its a huge list and I am now researching further to bring this list down to only a few providers. I will appreciate if anyone can point hosts who have great infrastructure + network, reasonable or very less overselling, good I/O and reliable.

    BurstNet - good hardware, decent network, slow support
    Hetzner - Great network, decent support. I have only ever used them for dedicated servers, so I can't comment on their hardware for VPS's.
    vmport - I've heard good things about all three; but I can't remember how good.
    VPS6 - had a very respectable UNIX benchmark at http://vpslist.net/vpslist-q4-2011-benchmarks/
    ramhost - I've heard a few good things.

    I have been with LusoVPS for some time, fast support and a nice price:

    It's lot of providers that offer cheap VPS that are extremely slow,
    don't forget to run some test to compare.

    You mentioned Amazon, but since this is for someone else have you looked at their free tier (http://aws.amazon.com/free/)? All your requirements fit within their free package, and you can use the Ireland location.

    You can get a medium range VPS easily with your budget and requirements.

    Hetzer I guess is one of the good VPS host.

    hetzner.de mainly provide dedis, and I can only find a few (actually 2) reviews about their VPS offering. And one reviewer mentioned that user's can't upgrade the packages, but rather have to order a new package, transfer the data manually and cancel the first VPS. I am not sure if its true or not, so if anyone else can write a detail review about hetzner VPS, that will be great.

    @SSD Nodes
    AWS free instances are good if you stay within the free resources. and if you step out of that limit the bill grow many folds comparing with a VPS. Also not possible to upgrade the VPS and no official AMI of centos is available.

    Thank you for the consideration, please dont hesitate to contact our sales team if you have any questions.

    On another note i can also highly recommend IntoVPS, we host our master control panel on one of there VPSs and it has been solid for the past year.
