Looking for an EU VPS (for gaming)

Hey guys
I'm looking for a VPS in the EU with min. 512mb RAM. Traffic and HDD are not so important since i'll only use it to run a gameserver (maybe minecraft or killing floor) and a Teamspeak server. As Minecraft likes to eat RAM a big SWAP partition on an SSD might be nice.
My favourite server location is Düsseldorf with peering at ECIX as this gives me the best ping.
So far i have VMPort and Alvotech on my watchlist but im not sure if OpenVZ(VMPort) and linux-vserver (Alvotech) are good virtualization technologies for running gameservers. Does anyone have experience with that?
Budget is 5-6€.

I have experience with GoWEB and found them to be a very good host
I wrote a review on them, have a look in my profile if you want to see it :P

And vpsdeploy had some SSD offers on LEB: http://www.lowendbox.com/tag/vpsdeploy-com/
I wonder if maybe we can get LEA to start using a SSD tag on those offers....
Make sure you ask the provider if their ok with their servers catching on fire first.
Minecraft servers uses 100% in constant time of a dedicated CPU core, the JAVA app is very hard. If your server is a Quad Core, you only can install 4-5 servers, then is difficult to provide a lowcost offer. In vpsdeploy.com we permit Minecraft servers from our SSD Level 3 model at 24.99 USD/month, and we guaratee a good performance. Regards.
