EU VPS for Bitcoin Node (not mining) - 2GB RAM, 100GB Disk, $7/month

Require a VPS with the following spec to be used as a Bitcoin node - note that this does not mean mining Bitcoin, but does require p2p communications on TCP/8333 and a fair amount of RAM.
- 3 vCPU minimum
- 2GB RAM
- 100GB Disk (SSD preferred, can host on a magnetic drive but the initial seed has tripped I/O limits on previous hosts)
- Location: EU (UK, NL or SE preferred)
- Virtualisation: no preference
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Ideal price is less than $7 per month (£5, €6.50)- can pay in Bitcoin too if necessary.

Our latest offer would be perfect. We have guaranteed CPU amounts also, so as long as you stay within them there will be no fear of suspension, if you have any questions drop me a private message
You will be fine on any decent provider

Hi @CraigWatson,
We can do this in the UK.
The resource plan 'Demanding' would be suitable for you, although it is double your specified price.
We're not your traditional SolusVM/WHMCS provider so it's entirely up to you if the additional cost is worthwhile.
Any questions just let me know.
A decent provider and trustable with good desk spaces would be good.
the hardest part on finding suitable VPS for these nodes is the HDD requirement
ed: you can use the $4.25/mo vps on dacentec;

the 'medium' vps on time4vps @ 3.99 €/mo:
http://www.time4vps.eu/
and the 'master' kvm on planetahost.ru for $5.70 a mo, off the top of my head
http://planetahost.ru
.... you'd want to transfer the blockchain over to any of these before starting, though
ed: oops, sorry, just saw your locations. ok, time4vps would be the only one out of that last then. would have to go for 'large' which is a bit past your budget for the 3 cpu and over 100GB HDD.
HostUS offer 4CPU, 6GB RAM, 150GB disk OVZ VPS in UK for 21/quarter, Bitcoin is accepted.
Prometeus have 4CPU, 3GB RAM, 90GB SSD OVZ VPS in IT, price tag is close to your budget - €7/m or €70/y.
