Looking for box to use as seedbox/gameserver
I'm looking for a dirt-cheap VPS to use as a seedbox and Minecraft server.
Speed: Any
Bandwidth: Unlimited or at least 1 TB
Storage: At least 50 GB, preferably 100+
RAM: At least 1GB, preferably 2GB.
Location: Preferably Europe, at least somewhere I can torrent from legally.
My budget is up to $10 a month. That's already stretching my budget =(
How much RAM do you think I need? My Minecraft server has at most 5 people online at once.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

You should consider better CPU than more RAM.
Wouldn't use a VPS for a Minecraft server.
Dtsleech.com or seed roots.com
It's honestly a tiny MC server. Not needing much for it. I just need a really cheap VPS.
How about Ramnode? They've got Holland location.

They allow torrents, but apparently only in US servers (which is ridiculous). They also insanely throttle connections to 20 Mbs. I'll contact their support for clarification, but they are a definite possibility.
They just changed that like last night. Got a ticket from Nick saying that they no longer allow torrent in NL location.
I think a 20Mbps throttle is OK with such a low price...
They only allow them in the US since it's where they are using their own IP space, I suppose.
You can see their KVM plan in serverbros.co.uk.Only this plan can be used as a seedbox i confirmed from the admin.
I wouldn't suggest running minecraft on a VPS ever. I have done it and it is bad.... I had to upgrade to linode to actually handle the beating and IO.

Linode is not vps?
Yes, they are. They provide Xen VPSs
