Server2008r2 is not a requirement, can use Server 2012 if licence is included
How about a slice?

Well the $7 per month one wont work. 1/2 core isnt going to cut it for a game server..
Contabo will be best bet (they have some older i7's running but also much slower E5s)
Remember it's half of an actual core not 2vcpus you might be surprised. Outside of contabo and budget providers you might want to also consider increasing budget for Windows or consider running Wine on Linux. What game servers are you looking into running?
Is it actually a core or just a hyper thread?
It's a thread.
I haven't been overly happy with how I explain the cpu usage on the page since the cpu limits only really matter if the nodes de is maxed out. We use weights for this all.
I'll likely add a modal on the page to explain that all once I word it properly.
With that being said I don't think we have a single node over a load of 3 or so.

That's not too bad, I don't think there's ever an easy way to single out vcores to cpu in terms of explaining there have been plenty of times I've used a server with "6" vcores and it was worse then another with 2 so idk. I'm sure I can look at grilling you when you add EU not really fair to judge them if they have 140ms
Also I forgot to mention @bersy that I currently have on of contabos 4 core ssds the hardware is ok but the network is pretty bad takes forever to transfer anything to it. Just my 2cents.
Is this for Minecraft or another game? The issue with game servers running on vps is you're fighting for a limited amount of shared could cycles. You may find performance to not be ideal.
Primarily running 1/2 Battlefield Bad Company 2 servers. Currently run on a safehousecloud vps for $4/m with 3.2Ghz x2, 1gb ram, Server 2012.
What's wrong with the current service?
Current service is in Frankfurt, (though pricing is the same for US) - Their support ticket times arent filling me with confidence so am looking at other options rather than having two tied with the same provider. Note that i am looking at additional services, not replacing current
Got it.
Consider checking this list: https://lowendbox.com/tag/windows/
Those don't really need much in terms of cpu power (compared to newer games anyway).
However I don't condone using stolen server files to create illegitimate game servers. Even though EA doesn't care anymore.
When full they can use a full 3.4ghz core, when not full they use barely nothing.
If EA cared they would have released a client side patch years ago..
Thing is it's tough to sell a full e5 core for $5 or $10 bucks a month.
