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.

  • Bitcoin NOT accepted

Virmach

Virmach are a VPS provider, management console is simple but intuitive including remote desktop (yes all servers include desktop which I consider a problem rather than a bonus, but it could be removed). Servers start at $4/month, but are charged on a per-month basis, i.e. if you run a server for an hour you're still charged for the full month. Commissioning and decomissioning servers is not instant.

  • Bitcoin is accepted.
  • No control over rDNS but apparently it is configured properly for mail sending purposes.

Hosts we've used in the past

  • Codero - excellent support, we just left because we didn't want US jurisdiction any more and they don't accept crypto
  • WebGo24 - very competitive prices, but horrible support, seems a bit of a backyard job
  • eSecureData - good prices for real servers, but we found them too unreliable with many outages
  • VPSLink - good for virtual servers, but we prefer either real servers or cloud solutions, resource often drops down a lot in peak times
  • GoDaddy - ok, but really aimed at mass shared hosting not dedicated servers

Providers of dedicated servers in the Netherlands that accept crypto

  • AbeloHost - their IP range has a very bad reputation though, not good for email servers
  • AltusHost - about to test
  • WorldStream - I haven't tested them yet
