Has anyone got a 8gb or 16gb ram dedicated server for rent?

Hello,
Can anyone rent me a 8gb or 16gb ram dedicated server for £30-£40 /month?
I know that I'm asking a lot for this price but it's all I have at the moment

What other specifications do you have? (hdd, cores, uplink speed etc)
Does it need to be a dedicated server? We could offer an 8 or 16gb VPS, depending on your other requirements.
Datashack.net. Their in your budget and will see you well
@VMPort - these guys are cheap, have you used them at all?
Considering their a bargain host, I've heard many good things about DataShack
+1 on that
Thanks for the great response guys. I just came across datashack, it's a pity their Dual AMD Opteron 2216 server is out of stock, I would have definitely bought that one.
@Damian
It doesn't have to be a dedicated server, I'm planning on hosting a few minecraft servers on it though.
Take a look at active-servers.de, but low traffic...
@dotvps
The tax brings me slightly out of budget
Any chance to know what country/datacentre they host in?
@dotvps
I can't find any resellers that keep me within budget
Well, I rented somedays with MegaNetserve, cheap servers, great service:

$49 USD month, 1GB RAM
@titanicsaled
Yes we have a rack with them
@vmport
Who do you have a rack with?
If you are not inside a country that has to pay VAT you won't need to pay it. It will still show up on the order phone but won't appear on the final invoice you pay.
I live in Canada and have to order from kimsufi.ie and I don't pay VAT.
@luma
I live in the UK and therefore have to pay VAT unfortunately.
So other than a zillion GB of ram, what other requirements does a minecraft server have?
I'm not really sure how much CPU it uses to be totally honest. I have run a 1gb minecraft server on my netbook which has a 1.6ghz atom before so it can't be that bad. I was also running a minecraft server or two on a chicagovps VPS a little while a go and that didn't use too much CPU.
RAM is just the killer with minecraft.
Sorry that was meant for sturdyvps
Never run a Minecraft server on an OVZ (OpenVZ) VPS. Java is best on KVM/XEN VPS's. Why not purchase a Minecraft package from a provider who specializes in Minecraft servers?
@VMPort ah i see, well i've bookmarked them for the future!
I need to host multiple minecraft servers.
Minecraft GSP Professional here, I work in this area.
Normally, I would just go with a Minecraft host, such as Global7Hosting (I work there), BeastNode, LethalDrive, or others.
If you want to buy a server, you probably want to avoid OpenVZ VPS's, they run bad.
For your budget, you might want to look into VolumeDrive, they are cheap, and fit your needs. Otherwise, for just a easier, fast setup, go with a Minecraft GSP. They know how to optimize/tweak your servers to run at full potential.
Im actually considering them for a new project of myn, however im totally clueless on AMD processors, and not sure whether AMD FX-4100 is a good processor or not.
Infact, my PiePanel system actually runs Minecraft Servers on my modified OpenVZ Debian Kernel with custom java settings, and I've seen rocket performance compared to KVM/Xen.
OpenVZ tends to be oversold, and Java dosen't work well with overcommited memory, hence why people think it runs Minecraft bad.
@daniel: AMD FX-4100 is a quad-core 3.6ghz processor that falls under high end of the "desktop processor" range, vs "server processor". If that matters to your project at all.
Ah alright; then I would definitely suggest...

They're all pretty much related, using the same building in Oak Towers; but they all offer different prices/packages. I know Datashack is currently in an IPv4 shortage, so they might not be taking orders until they get some more.
So wait, are you saying its a good server processor? My project involves around running 40 OpenVZ Containers with a highly configured OS and Minecraft Server inside.
He's saying that the processor isn't really a server-processor, but a high-performance desktop processor. But it should definitely be good because of AMD's VT option in the BIOS which allows Virtualization Optimization.
OpenVZ isn't really Virtualization.
