I think you are referring to a dedicated server. Which location are you looking at?
Also if you are to host a CSS or multiple CSS servers on a hosts network, its always good to make sure they allow game servers to be run on their network.

$1 a slot, try googling it. honestly there are so many out there I really don't know what to tell you.
I can tell you this, the cheaper it is the crapier they become (i.e. lag, fps drop, and crap like that)

That's pretty much it. Instead of going super-cheap, why don't you try to get a quality provider so you can actually play the game with some stability?

<< removed >> if you want cheap cs/css servers go with gameservers.com. However I am not to fond of their server quality, if you play for or manage a good cs/css team you'll definitly want a good server with good shot registration.

Here are a few:
www.myinternetservice.com
www.branzone.com
www.gameservers.com

serverbeach.com offers gaming servers as well. I've heard around that they're a reliable source.

The cheapest (not necessarily most reliable) would be www.gameservers.com

You are correct. The game servers would be LatencyKills.com.

There are plenty of GSP's out there, just make sure you know what you're getting

Well said. Many of the cheaper GSP's tend not to be the most reliable

You could try a VPS and setup your own gameservers. VPS's are pretty cheap these days.

[XeSupport]

I wouldn't really recommend hosting game servers on a cheap VPS package as many games, especially more recent ones like Call of Duty: World at War and Left 4 Dead, require a lot of system resources to run smoothly. Your probably best off sticking with a game server provider.
