Looking for a high single core performance VDS for a modded Minecraft server
CPU: high single core performance (Ryzen 5950X / 7950X3D or similar)
Number of vCores: 2-4 (Minecraft is mainly single threaded)
RAM: 8GB+
Disk Space: 50GB+ (bare minimum, more is always better for backups 
)
Disk Type: SSD/NVMe
Bandwidth: Low, only 2-3 players and mainly on the weekends, max 1TB is necessary I would assume.
Port Speed: 1Gbps (?) don't even need that much I guess
DDoS Protection: No
Number of IPs: 1
Location: EU
Budget: Up to 15 euro ($16) / month
Have been looking at many offers, best I've found so far is:
Layer7 (8GB RAM / 2 vCores 7950X3D / 13.74 eur ($15))
Also looked at Albahost "VDS" but they impose 80% per CPU usage limits? Good price, but it's not really a VDS.
Any better (or similar) offers than the Layer7 one? Thank you!

Posted on wrong post, my bad!
RackNode VDS_2 performance has been solid with dedicated resources and no cap on cpu core utilization
Been running ATM9 and BetterMC on a 8 core (4 dedicated, 4 shared) EPYC 7702 (1200 GB6) VPS with around 5/10 players max. The trick is to pregen the world. You can also go further and find some server side mods that will increase performance.
What provider are you using? I understand pre-generating would work, but only to some extent as we do a bunch of exploring with flying mounts. Already know about the perf mods as I'm using the Oracle Free Tier currently. It's good as long as you don't need to generate new chunks quickly. Even tends to crash the whole server.
EDIT: Just saw the mention of the GB6 score. Oracle free tier is ~1100 single core. Might be of interest for you. Just don't know if there's some performance disadvantage in it being an ARM server compared to x86.
The problem with flying around is that it generates chunks too rapidly which slows down the server significantly. If you pregen, then it won't be a problem because those chunks are already generated and there's no need to perform any background calculations while you are flying. Order a VPS with big storage and pregen a decent radius that you would be expecting to fly around within.
I understand that completely. I just think it's inconvenient and not foolproof that we won't hit ungenerated chunks soon after. I also think a VPS is risky for a game server because of the CPU fair usage limits. Don't want to break any ToS. That's why I am looking for a VDS specifically.

EPYC- 32GB.
In BetterMC I pregen the world 10k chunks in overworld, nether, and the_end. Didn't do other worlds yet. Other worlds besides those have been explored, but not really a lot so I didn't bother.
World size is 12GB and backups are around 8GB atm.
Really need a VPS for it? If you want something in the US my game hosting plans (with Pterodactyl panel) are being setup with new Ryzen 7900 systems in Texas. I could give you a good deal for a plan on one. CPU resources are always much lower than a VPS hypervisor... if you want performance, then using game hosting plans is probably going to give you much better performance than a VPS.
If you have Oracle Cloud account , you van run mc server on those and still have good experience.
Am was running ATM 6 7 9 , VH3 , FTB with stable 10-15s fine on those.
You can use some mod to make the server multi threading and it run smoothly with basic clock speed (most server lock base clock)
10k chunk radius really? So 160000 blocks? I tried running chunky yesterday but didn't realize the radius is actually in blocks and not chunks. It takes a lot of time, not that it matters while we are not online. Around 6-7 hours for 10000 block radius. Honestly, it's a perfectly fine experience on Oracle free tier it's just that slow chunk generation and crashing is extremely annoying when exploring in a straight line.
I could be misconceiving things and these 2vCores of 7950x won't do me much justice, as pre-generating chunks is "almost mandatory" on modded Minecraft, or so I've read. Also turns out that modern Minecraft chunk generation is multi-threaded. Didn't know that, so my initial assumptions are wrong and more vCores might be needed.
Anyways thank you for the posts, made me reconsider some things.
Not necessarily I suppose, it's just that a VDS would give me more freedom on the setup of the server, could also use it for other tasks too. I'm open to hearing the offer, but the latency to Texas would be pretty bad for me as I am located in the EU.
Chunky is chunks, not blocks. I don't think it's possible to generate block by block, Minecraft worlds save and load by chunks.

Ah sorry I thought you were looking for US for some reason. I got mixed up.
