Take a look at netcup.de 's new KVM offers. 2 dedicated logical cores, 3GB ram, 240GB SAS RAID10 for around 50 euros yearly(if you're outside EU) :

Plan? Maybe, but a provider itself isn't a very reputable one. I'd rather choose netcup.

Netcup and OnePoundWebhosting come to mind, but I'm sure there's loads more out there.

Take a look at netcup KVM offers in DE https://www.netcup.de/vserver/ You can check your ping at their LG.

Actually my workload easily splits between cores and systems. I am currently moving to netcup with their 8cores for $25 EUR. The 8c netcup deal is now performing like the Vultr deal at 37% less cost

Cost is $5/core and Vultr outperforms my local Xeon E5-2670 physical CPU cores. Netcup.de and Ramnode work ok but are not a better cost per unit of CPU performance.
