Deal for VPS: 1GB RAM, 512MB VSWAP, 65GB Storage @ $21/Year
Although it's been around since 2012 TragicServers isn't that popular but I just found a deal for their services that you can pay just $21/Year for. This is what you get: 1GB RAM, 512MB vSwap, 4 CPU cores, 65GB HDD space, 2TB traffic, 1Gbps uplink, 1x IPv4, 3x IPv6, OpenVZ/SolusVM. the price is down from a regular $84/year. This will help you host your own VPN, IRC bouncer, a half dozen wordpress websites, and still have plenty of space left. Me being a freelancer, it has been a real money saver. Servers are available in Dallas (Limestone networks) and in Los Angeles (Quadranet). Default config install allows for 32/64bit CentOS 5/6, Wheezy 7 and Ubuntu 12/14, but there is a greater range in the control panel afaik. Here are some reference tests: QuadraNet – Los Angeles, CA, USA - Test IPv4: 198.55.111.5, LimeStone Networks - Dallas, TX, USA Test IPv4: 96.44.142.2.
