Which VPS Company Should I Choose? (specific requirements)

I need a VPS that:
-Allows VPNs (VPN service)
-Has lots of bandwidth (1 Tb to unmetered is preferable).
-RAM and CPU don't matter that much.
-Is pretty cheap (at most $50 / year).

You might want to say where you want this VPS.

Woops Sorry, missed the 500 Gig part.
I'd say these requirements are not "specific" at all, and like 80% of all LEB/LET offers qualify.

What about an unmetered bandwidth lowend VPS?
Reading your username, you might not want to deal with USA servers. So I would suggest you to take a look at edis.at
Edit: Unless you are providing VPN to asian clients who has internet sensorships in place. If that is what it is, VPS's from LA would suit your need and budgetVM comes in mind.

I contacted them about raising the bandwidth.
This. Neither France or Germany is something I would recommend. NL or UK.
Contact @AnthonySmith. I'm sure you can work something out with him.
Both are countries that are forcing ISPs to block tracker sites, force traffic to be routed through proxy servers, etc. Maybe not the best choice for @BypassCensorship
What port speeds do you need?
Which country doesn't nowadays? Spain or Italy maybe?
Basically... every European country except for NL and UK.
There are plenty of options for those specs.
How much would a bandwidth upgrade cost on Ramnode? I already have a VPS with you guys, but it only has 1 Tb (I think that would be around 400 Kbps unmetered).
I would rather get a VPN from NL or UK then from France or Germany with crazy fines/3 strike regulations regarding copyright
OP Why do you need Unmetered Bandwidth? Is your internet connection 100Mbit or are you panning on sharing this with 10 people?
Doing anything in the UK is like doing it in the US - if you attract enough attention by the American government you'll just be sent there to be sentenced according to their laws
Never been to america in your life? Doesn't matter, extradited
I'll be selling accounts to it (so 10-15 people).

You're 100% right. There are many cases of that happening. Also, the whole Internet is controlled by the U.S. (DMCA law, etc).
Replace with UK with any other country except for Iran or so....
@Freek I'm sure North Korea wouldn't mind.
Your post originally said: "Lots of bandwidth (500GB or 1TB, better if unmetered)", then you edited it; and there's a lot of LEB offers with 500GB b/w.
Hah, they wish, they have nothing to say about stuff that isn't physically hosted in the US.
They do because the other governments and providers outside US give them power
More english-speaking hosts than not outside US would require a client to follow DMCA and requests from US LE to hand over info or just shut down a site
and.. many non-US providers are hosting their site/billing in US or making backups to US <- giving the US access to everything! I would never host my billing / clientdetails or backups anywhere near the US with the way they act

Exactly.
Very few hosts offshores will ignore U.S. DMCA / other legal requests.

I went completely off-topic, I meant:
Don't host in Germany either
wouldnt that be around 3-4mbps?
yes but the x Mbps will probably be higher , due to how 95th percentile billing works
Assuming you don't get nuked.
