Cloudatcost server 90% off (one time payment)
Basically their server is crappy but it is one time payment with 90% off.
They are based in Toronto Canada I believe, and they practically don't really care what you put on the server. (People even run TOR exit node on them without any issues).
Servers are "cloud" servers, you can create and destroy them as you wish, and split the server into smaller slices (minimum is 512MB of RAM).
They have Windows OS templates as well (Win 2008, 2012 and 7), all OS templates are 64 bit ones.
Here is the specs for their Pro2 servers, which is a one-time 7USD payment:
2 vCPU Core's 2 public IP per Server 1GB ECC RAM 20GB SSD 1 Gbit Network unmetered monthly transfer
Here is a quick benchmark I ran on a server I just acquired, both I/O and network are not great but then for a one-time 7 USD payment it is probably not the worst deal for those who just need something to run:

Huh, again? this crappy provider which is always full of downtimes?
I'll
Go with them!
Is the download speed always that slow?
Agreed, as stated in my post they are a crappy provider, however it is probably not that easy to find a provider who allows any crap to run on their network at such a low price.
Pretty much, don't expect anything decent from these guys, spend your money only if:
you want something cheap and don't care about uptime
you want to run something that is typically not allowed to run with a decent provider.
For some reason I keep buying their shit...
Wow have you tried to create a single VPS with all these resources?
you paid 120$ for that? I hope that's a good investment.
No I haven't paid $120. 1GB was free and got others during sales. This has been going on for 2 years now, I think
What download speeds do you usually get?
No idea. Currently deploying a VM in DC2, but their panel is really slow.
Yes really slow but how did you created the cloud? I click on CloudPRO but nothing it stays on main page
It takes around 30 seconds to load the data (ajax call to a modal)
how bad is the uptime? like 2 3 times down every month?
Cloudatcost is one of the worst providers on the market and what I would consider to be a scam.
Note my review here: https://www.qwdsa.com/c/threads/hosting-cloudatcost-2015-review.211/

See for yourself.
Distinctly average, at best.
On three separate occasions my OpenVZ VPS partitions ended up as read-only, for some unbeknownst reason. Ticket reply is always 'it's OK now', never the reasoning behind it.
I'm sure there'll be a technical clusterfuck in the future that'll bring this one down permanently.
How much they need to setup the server ?
Not sure what you mean, it is one time payment and for VPS there is no setup cost other than the one time payment.
Which benchmark script did you use to run speed tests across multiple nodes in EU/Asia/ NA/CDN?
When i see the Benchmarks, i guess the 8$ or so are wasted.
Why why why did you buy it . I posted the reviews on hopes people wild stay away .
your review does not weigh more than any others (both for and against them)
I did not, lol.
I created vm in panel but have install pending over 8 hours
CloudAtCost, da best hosting evar! BUY BUY BUY!

Now, that's cheap. They even accept win images what virtualization do they use?
Given the price... it's hard to complain, isn't it?
Do you have any test IP?
Had to get one to test: taking forever to set up the server and now this message:

My server is still stuck in "installation in progress" but they changed my ticket to in progress
They use vmware. The windows 2008/2012 templates are not activated, but the windows 7 one is, I'm assuming it's nulled, but whatever.
