In need of a really cheap VM/CT
Hi there
I need a really cheap VM in EU (preferred, but not a strict req).
1G/1CPU/20GB SSD (or better)
It can also be a LXC/OVZ container.
What I really need is one dedicated IPv4 clean, not RBL listed, as I intend to use it as a SMTP server, but don't worry, it's for my personal mail server, not newsletters.
I simply want to gather a redundant cluster of servers to "balance" the mails sent and make sure my mails are not left hanging somewhere.
For that reason, it would be awesome to share the IP with me first, to make sure is not listed anywhere important.
I don't really have a price in mind, so shoot me a DM with your offer. Can pay 1y upfront if the price is irresistible. 
Thanks a lot!

I have great time using @MannDude and @EthernetServers VPS for my Self-Hosted Email server back in days, perhaps they can clarify they still doing open port 25 here.
Thanks for the mention
We block port 25 outbound (inbound is always open by default), but can open it upon request in a support ticket.
Our IPs are pretty clean - there might be the odd blacklisted one here and there but we can at least guarantee the IP is clean at https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx (and if that's not the case, we can swap the IP for one that is clean).
RackNerd has (no aff)
For $0.96 / month (yearly). See product specs (aff)
You'd have to ask for the IP cleanliness. This is in the US.
First define what "really cheap" means as a number.
For a "personal mail server" how many emails are you sending that you need to "balance them across multiple servers"?
It might be a 'red-flag' to providers that your personal email server needs to balance the outgoing emails.. It certainly is for me.
For me, it's a red flag that you decided to pop in here without a reason.
It's my business how want my servers set up. And to be honest, I don't really care about your opinion on how my mail server should be set up.
Found a couple of providers that DMd me, to which I explained what/how I need things set up and all went fine.
Thread can be closed now.
Thanks a lot for all the offers and recommendations. Really helped.
Update:
I would need two more. Ideally one in EU and one in US.
Do you consider our Sweden plans?
https://skhron.eu/services?locations=🇸🇪+Stockholm,+Sweden
All IPv4 are within 185.195.236.0/24 for Sweden
Forgot to mention:
It would be awesome if I can get 2-4 IPs from different ranges.
It is purely used to balance/fallback if my primary mailing relays are not working (eg. some weird yahoo error). And no, it is not used for bulk; I just need to make sure my mails arrive at the destination "no matter what".
Thanks!
@tentor
Looks like that subnet had some issues in the past, so it's very likely MS or Y! would reject/mark as spam by default. Thanks anyway! Really appreciate it!
