UK VPS - KVM Preferred
I'm looking at what's available at the moment before renewing with my current provider, I've had a good 11 months from them and may just renew but it doesn't hurt to see what's available
Requirements:
30GB disk space
2GB Ram (Minimum, would like more)
4 CPU cores (fair share) or 1 decent dedicated core.
1TB Bandwidth
I currently run a football forum, we do have busy spikes (mainly on match days for about an hour after the game ends, we've never caused problems for others on the node though whether that be when hosted at Linode, dediserve or our current host fiberoute) so being able to have the ability to use more CPU resources without being punished is required, from looking at our graphs and sar stats we very rarely max out 1 CPU, But it has been known to happen and other hosts have always coped.
Budget is up to £70 for the year.

Hello,
If you can work with OpenVZ, we have some deals in London, with great connectivity. Pure RAID10 SSD Arrays, Xeon E3v5 CPU. You can check them out here: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/111270/alphavps-spring-specials-with-huge-discounts-bg-de-uk-ny-la-fl-kvm-in-bg-restocked#latest

Those are pretty cheap, what's stance on CPU usage?
Hi alegeek,
We have some limited stock left on our KVM deals in bristol, Please feel free to mesage me if you have any questions about our business or offers.

These are KVM and dedicated CPU
One of our Customers will certainly be happy to help : )

That's on our great MPLS-TE, Juniper based network (MX480, MX240, MX104- TRIO Chipset based fabric) with geographically dispersed routing sites across London. See http://bgp.he.net/AS62240. We transit with Level3, NTT, GTT, Telia, Cogent, have a premium private peering to Liberty Global EU Networks (Virgin Media included) and peer with likes of BT, Sky UK, TalkTalk, AA ISP and others via LINX.
Fair share of the E3-1240v5 cores. As long as you don't abuse it, you will be fine. Of course, you should always keep in mind that these are shared cores, so bursting to 100% for a long period of time is not allowed. You will, of course, receive a proper warning.
Hosted on @Clouvider 's awesome network. If interested furhterly, I can send a test IP.

Your peering with BT, is that the whole group or just the retail arm? Had a quick scan and couldn't see Plusnet.
BT Network AS2856. AS6871 (Plus.net) is directly fed from 2856 so I assume so. Can send you a traceroute if you have a test IP ?
Example one I found on bgp.he.net:
Thanks, I'll shoot my current over via PM.
Thanks
Totally understand the stance with fair share, my current plan is fair share and we haven't caused issues for our neighbours
Yep, directly via LINX -> BT -> Plusnet
In that case, we will be a great fit! Let me know if you have any questions.
To my knowledge most of OpenReach traffic goes through BTs ASN. Only exception I have seen is TalkTalk. Anyway plusnet is owned by BT
For a 2G KVM in UK, my first choice would be @AnthonySmith; he'll take care of you.
Zare has a bunch of DDoS protected offers in London, Bristol, etc in the UK

You need to register for an account and add about 2-3 pounds of credit to your account and you can try out their VPS/Cloud server options that way. I've used them before when I wanted to have a VPS in England and it was pretty decent and DDoS protection is always a plus, something you can't get with Vultr in the same location as of now.
Running KVM and OpenVZ Servers on Clouviders network for a while now, it really is top notch.
I have marked up a few of the KVM plans below (Only 2 cores on the OpenVZ plans), you can test the network here: http://lg1.inceptionhosting.com
€7.00 p/month order link
€10.00 p/month order link
€12.00 p/month order link
CPU policy for transparency:
Can do Gravelines France if you're happy to expand your location by a tad. May also be worth looking at some hosted web plans, like the one Online does.
I'd just go direct with OVH in that location
Thanks though.
We can help in Sheffield UK, if this is of interest to you drop me a PM and I can see what we can come up with.

Open Reach is not an ISP. They provide last mile (or more) between the ISP using their copper network and the nearest NNI. Neither Sky, nor TalkTalk, nor AA ISP, nor Enta nor Zen uses BT ASN, every one of them has their own network. Plusnet uses BT ASN since it's owned by BT, it's a different brand for them.
For the avoidance of doubt, AS62240 is also protected, by NTT, with meaningful (and real) capacity. We're not here to harbour DDoS magnets though.
