Gebyte.com Special VPS Benchmark
So since I picked this one up recently when looking for a small&cheap VPS with dedicated IPv4 I thought I'd run a bench really quick.

IMPORTANT!
The server won't be provisioned right away. They are currently in the process of migrating their Server Panel & Infrastructure to a different Software and it seems like this will take a while. I ordered on Friday and after quite some back and forth (not to say their support was negative in any way) it got manually provisioned today. However there was a weekend in between so one could argue that it was not so long that I've had to wait anyway. Was worth it for the dedicated IPv4, the bench results and the monthly pricing of 1€. Whats more is they have promised to waive any invoices for my plan until the Panel has been fully migrated. They will then contact me and migrate my VPS to it. Until then it's free of charge 
I just topped up 5 € (minimum) on their balance so when it starts billing again it is not canceled due to insufficent funds or me forgetting to pay the invoice.
The reason I even checked them out is because I've known them since a few years (when I was looking for Gameservers back then) and knew they were quite friendly and established. If this was a provider I didn't know at all I'd probably feel a bit different about this.

Hm, pre-paid system in Germany? Nice! Finally no stupid "send us a letter to cancel your server" policy. Thank you for heads up. 1EUR/month is peanuts for good server.
Yeah really convenient that way. Either remember to pay invoice, top up some money in advance or forget about it and let expire.
I mean it's only 100 Mbit/s but from a low spec vps I usually don't need much more tbh.
The I/O is surprisingly good for HDD.
Interesting! Could you run a full serverscope.io bench? (Or at least the fio test: curious to know more about their iops.) Thanks!
looks like a good deal thanks
Looks pretty good
No one response the ticket, and no delivery
You have to wait. It's a manual provisioning. Check first post.
At some point I expected this to happen. Thanks for replying in my stead.
I hope so.
To speed up the process:
Login to your client area. Fill out all the required * fields for your personal data (email, address..). Then open a support ticket saying your server hasn't been provisioned and ask if they can look into this manually. Also specify the OS you want. Ubuntu 17.04 and Debian 9 seem to be the latest supported ones. You may have gotten an (automatic) welcome email with your server ip, pw etc but that one didn't work for me (couldn't login or ping it). It was probably automatically generated by the currently not functioning Auto-Provision system. At the end I was given a totally different IP. They also don't send root credentials but a normal user with sudo rights for security.
For what it's worth, it's been idling solid
