    Have you checked the offer section of the forum? Shouldn't be any problem to find what your are looking for. A good start could be to look at OVH, they have some plans that would fit your needs.

    Just to make it clear, i guess it's a typo, but you would need more than 5GB of traffic to host a VPS service

    That's no budget for a server you want to use for VPS.

    Double it and you can possible get something low end for VPS use.

    A core2quad can support 2-3 VPS without any problems!

    I commented on the budget.

    The OP hasn't specified how many VPS he wants to create or what they are for. His budget is too low do get a decent machine to virtualize.

    For unmanaged server this would be quite possible though. Even on brand hardware. Check http://www.serverloft.com/ ; note that it will be a truly UNMANAGED service; they dont deliver any help in configuring your server; only in case of hardware problems.

    And there are even cheaper offers around. Although i can vouch for the quality.

    If it's just for his yes then that would be fine.

    But for a vps server to sell or get decent performance from, you want to be using at least RAID 1+0 and even better 15k drives (although sata can do the job.)

    You are rightl the disk IO is of the up most importance; and one of the largest bottlenecks of most if not any virtual system. But since the OP did give his hardware requirements it might fit him and stays within his budget.

    Check out Kualo.com they are very familiar with exactly what you are looking to do. Ask for Craig he is a great guy, runs a nice network, and cares about his clients.

    Quality across the board

    aiden11,
    You can likely find many servers capable of supporting a few VPS' within your budget. Though, if you plan to have any longevity, back-ups and redundancy are a must for your clientele.

    We understand that you have a budget, so absolute best of luck in the beginning. Just consider your clients as well. You will not want to get a bad reputation early in biz. (At least have some back up solutions).

    Kualo is a cloud provider. I do not know much of them, though, a decent provider should be able to provide you with the redundancy that you require to run a quality VPS service. They should have the ability to perform back-ups, restores, redundancy (power, DC's, etc), and Failover (also redundancy).

    Otherwise you are looking at least two servers, a fail-over solution (HTTP) (heartbeat w. drbd), and possible upgrades from your provider such as IP pooling.

    imo (worthless)

    For budget of that size, I would recommend netdirekt.de.
    Their service is really unmanaged, hardware and network only are their concerns, but I don't think you can expect fully managed service with budget of that size and those hardware requirements.
    They have great network and hardware btw, been using them for 1+ year and don't plan to leave.

    Aiden11,

    Why are you running nulled WHMCS software on your sites?

    Payton Designs as for our billing system i can assure you that is not and we don't need a nulled version.

    I can post here our license keys if its necessary.

    We actually have licenses for AWBS and WHM Autopilot so why would we need a nulled version of WHMCS

    You are just angry because of my criticism that you don't deliver your designs on time
