VPS for various crypto coin wallet(s)

I am looking for suggestions for an expensive VPS provider, for hosting various crypto currency wallets. I need a minimum of 1 gig of ram to start, 20-30 gigs of HD space, at bare minimum, and hopefully less than $15 USD per year. Multiple IPv4 addresses a plus, however a minimum of 1 static, as well as a bunch of IPv6 is a plus for hosting multiple master nodes.

Expensive? You've come to the wrong place, bud.
HighEndTalk.com is always available.
I guess people don't remember wallets getting stolen from Linode years ago

Crypto wallets should be stored in cold storage. If you're going to host them online you'll have to take a lot of security measures. Don't use OpenVZ and you have to encrypt your partition. I'm not sure if you can get that for $15/year.
We have a $15/year KVM offer in the NL that you can encrypt. See my signature.
There are ways to secure it for sure, I can assure you the practice is still fairly widely used. Yes I did mean "in"expensive sorry about that. Crypto wallets are not always cold storage, when they are for staking coins. Really needing something with more than 256 megs of ram. 1 gig would be minimum.

I'd be vary of storing a wallet even on a dedicated server, but on VPS this seems just like pure insanity. Unless your total combined cryptocoin value is less than what you paid for the VPS itself.
My suggestion would be Arubacloud. The smallest package comes with 1gb memory, 20gb disk and 2tb bandwidth in a vmware
I'm using it for running a damacoin wallet/node.
The first time we run the wallet, it would took a high cpu load. But after sync, it will use less than 0.02 load, except bitcoin/fluttercoin or some staking coin.
You just completely ignored the previous discussion on wallet security and VPSes. Regardless of host, nothing remote is safe. I even store my measly 0.5BTC on a CD in an "undisclosed location."
