I personally use contabo (http://contabo.com/?show=vps). Their cheapest
plan is slightly more expensive (8Euro/month), but provide oh so much
more (comparing with the similarly priced plan at digital ocean: 200GB
storage vs. 30GB, 4GB memory vs. 1GB, Unlimited traffic (so long as the
average isn't over 20Mb/s) vs. 2TB).

To be fair, assuming completely uniform traffic distribution, that last
number translates to a bit over 6TB/month. Since no one's traffic is
really uniform, I think we can assume that the traffic cap is, more or
less, the same.

I'd send a syndicated link, but I don't think they have such a program.
I have absolutely zero stake in whether you use their service or not.
