Hello!
I'm spending quite some time in finding new cost-efficient VPS hoster in "unpopular" countries (non-exit).
The relay community would actually have a lot information to provide in that regard - I think.
I would really appreciate if you can share any hoster that provides VPSes with the following properties:
* cost efficiency: at least 4 MBit/s per $ / month (min 20MBit/s) * not located in NL, FR, DE, US, GB, AS16276, Digital Ocean ASes * KVM or Xen based (no OpenVZ) * unmetered or at least 7TB/month outbound * proper https for customer area (reboot functionality, console access, ...) * English customer area
You can also help by adding hoster information to your contactinfo field: ISP:<url to hoster> so others can find that (sometimes it isn't easy to find the hoster based on IP/AS information).
So far I made good experience with itldc.com + price + reliable + SSH pub key pre-polulated in VPS + custom ISO possible + greate CPU performance in UA DC - plaintext root password in email
mixed experience with seflow.it - almost regular outages - poor support (response time and know-how) - unable to provide correct billing information for hourly billed VPSes (start-stop times) ~ CPU performance + price (especially memory) + root password not disclosed via plaintext email
unusable hoster -----------------------
alexhost.md Unreliable; to many outages
serverastra.com no https
coolhousing.net no https
server.ua no https
prohoster.info OVH reseller
layeronline.com OVH reseller
vmline.pl polish interface only
unixhost.pro poor CPU/network performance (<15MBit/s)
www.hosteasy.eu passport copy required
ablenet.jp passport copy required
albahost.net simply failed to provide working VPS
vinahost.vn international traffic limited to 10MBit/s
www.infiumhost.com no proper https (self-signed cert)
alphavps.bg metered <1TB/month
xserver.ua customer area language vps.ua customer area language
Rx-name.ua no reaction to email request
If you can not suggest specific hoster but good sites to find new hoster that is also great, like:

Hi Harvie,
Thanks for this effort! This is greatly appreciated.
Can you add your findings to https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/GoodBadISPs ? This page could also use some general overhaul.

I do not know what their policies on tor relays are, that is why I can not really add anything new to that site.

It'a always a good idea to ask.

I don't think it is worth the effort for non-exits. Since that should not botter the hoster at all.

Some hosters are bothered by (or do not support) high numbers of connections / CPU / network use, even in supposedly "unlimited" environments.

Pulse Servers seems to fit that criteria. They have different tiers, but even their $10/month plan meet your criteria. They give you a Xeon-class CPU and a 1 Gbits link, but there's a clause about reasonable use, so typically it's best to keep it under 100 Mbits unless you buy a higher tier. Servers are in CA and UK. I don't remember what container they use though.

looks like: - OVH reseller (AS16276) - OpenVZ based VMs
