I've been a Netcup customer for a year and a half or so, and I love them. Locations in Germany only, but for less than $10/mo (5.29EUR), you're not going to do much better than this on price to spec ratio. Performance is fantastic. I have the 8G/300G SAS rootserver for 8.99EUR (rootservers just give you dedicated cores). Note however that (similar to BuyVM), they are also extremely quick to cancel you outright if you don't pay in time. https://www.netcup.eu/bestellen/produkt.php?produkt=2006 https://www.netcup.eu/bestellen/produkt.php?produkt=2006

They're a provider I haven't heard of before. Following your link, what does "Billing period 6 Months" mean? Elsewhere on the page it says: "Hourly based billing. Tariff can be terminated at any time."

  You pay for 6 months at a time. If you cancel, you get money back for however much you didn't use.

    Yep, and if you want to pay monthly, go for a rootserver, but for those the cheapest is the 8.99EUR one I originally referenced that I have.

There is (seems to be) no way to quickly spin up an instance for testing for new customers. After completing the order form I received an email stating they will check my address details and only after that complete the order and let me pay.

  Yes, you go thru the auth process, pay, and then they email you VM details after provisioning. Fairly standard. I don't think they claim to be very "cloudy," so yeah you're not going to get on-demand VM's you can just spin up like DO/Vultr. Perhaps they're hourly billing is confusing or misleading to lead you to think that. And it honestly really isn't hourly billing I don't think, unless they don't bill if you turn the VM off (never tested that).
