Servers
See also ServerHunter.com a huge list of server offerings filterable by many criteria including bitcoin pricing, hourly charging etc.
AltusHost
Our main dedicated server is with AltusHost in the Netherlands, we've never had any problem with them, the IP address range is clean and they accept Bitcoin even if only via Bitpay.
Linode
Linode are a cloud server provider, management of servers is extremely intuitive and you're charged by the minute so you can run server's for extremely short periods to compile things or test procedures. Servers start at $5.

ZappieHost Servers start very cheap (about $4/mo) and have some interesting data-centre locations such as New Zealand, India and South Africa which is good for VPN options.
- Bitcoin is accepted via CoinGate.

Hosts we've used in the past

- VPSLink - good for virtual servers, but we prefer either real servers or cloud solutions, resource often drops down a lot in peak times

- AmazonAWS - reliable and fast, very expensive, but Amazon
Providers that accept crypto to test out
- LunaNode - non-bitpay, pay by the hour
