I have one of those. They're pretty much worthless. That atom processor hasn't even got support for AES-NI, meaning that all crypto must be done without hardware acceleration. Basically all traffic (https? ssh? sftp? vpn?) is heavy duty for that procesor for the sole reason of existing. I can literally see a cpu 100% busy because i'm downloading a file over sftp in another terminal. Unless you're doing stuff in cleartext, which restricts the acceptable use cases by a lot. Really, that kind of servers are really toys. Also, in case of problems the datacenter people will just shut it off, replace it and re-provision it. I had the (single) disk fail on my kimsufi and the OVH people replaced it and rebooted my server to a blank state. Ok fine, thank you and everything but where did my data go? Who's been handling my data on the PHYSICAL disk? Really, those servers are barely toys. Don't get me wrong though: great toys, but TOYS.
