6000+ passmark / 4-8GB / 500GB+ HDD / 1 gbps
I've currently got 3 cheap servers, looking to combine them.
needs:
- Fair amount of CPU (1 fast or a bunch of slower cores are both fine, minimum passmark 6000, preferred 8000+)
- 1gbps preferred, with 20TB in each direction OR 100mbps true unmetered
- 500GB-1TB hard drive, no need for ssd
- 4-8GB ram
- 1 IPv4, would like IPv6 also, but not critical
- Server for personal use, 98% uptime is fine
- If a sale is coming soon I can wait
- US location preferred
- Bitcoin preferred / No ID verification preferred
- Dedicated preferred, KVM/Xen ok if not oversold
budget:
about $20/month (I'm fine switching to quarterly/annually after trying it out for a month or 2, if that helps the price)

With this budget, Cyber Monday would be a good try. Or check out if any provider's going to run a sale during Christmas.
Kimsufi KS-4C in BHS would have been a good match, too bad you're a couple of months late
Only thing is the 100mbit connection, but at least it's truly unmetered, whatever it means.
See this Joe's Datacenter offer at $20/month:
– 2x Intel Xeon L5420
– 8GB RAM
– 500GB HDD
– 20TB Transfer
– 1 IPv4 + /64 IPv6
– 1Gbps

I was hoping to get more cpu power than that, but if nothing else shows up I'll definitely jump on that Joe's deal. Thanks for the link.
I had a host once that advertised as 100mbps unmetered traffic, but if you averaged more than 60mbps for any 5 days in a row they changed your port to a 10mbps. I guess it pays to read all the fine print.
More CPU power? @Virmach has some good E3 deals, but you have to raise your budget a bit. At least 3x the resources you are looking for (except for the bandwidth), at an amazing price.
