Balkan VPS
Anything worth of mentioning? I'm on a tight budged and need to stream online radio for the Balkan region with about 80 mbps usage.
BalkanVPS and Virtono are good choises but got no reply from them if this is allowed in their TOS.
Can you offer any other providers willing to give me this?
1 Core with 512MB RAM and 10GB HDD are sufficient.

I doubt they'll be fine with 80 mbps 24/7 if you're paying $5.
I would get some cheap unmetered dedi subsidized by the French government if I were you.
Judging by your username, you need a Bulgarian VPS for better connectivity - try fitvps.com. BalkanVPS is Albanian.
Also @cociu (Romania) has great Balkan connectivity, and can do 100mbps easy.
thanks , for mention
pm if you are ok with Romania location
Bulgarian providers charge me an arm and a leg for this. Traffic is very expensive for some reason.
@ManofServer
Actually, we are from Kosovo.

in Bulgaria:

6€ 512MB
Extremely reliable greek vps, but it is not in LET/LEB price (but not really to much more expensive).

At 9€ per month
OpenVZ in Serbia:

Also, not in LET range, but not expensive:
1GB ram, 12$
Also, Albanian vps, he is a LET member:

For Romania, @cociu is very reliable and... unique! Good prices, too.
Also, what do you use to stream on line radio? If you do not re-encode your streams and don't use auto dj etc., then, even a 128MB vps will give you plenty of resources to do it with shoutcast or icecast.
If you want a free panel, then, you can use Media Server Control Panel but it works only on KVM/XEN and not to OpenVZ for some reason. I run it smoothly with 10 different radio stations on a 256MB box and the occupied resources are not even the half of the available!

Isn't this in Kosovo too? Same AS number. It's KVM.
I think it's in Belgrade, but I'm not sure. And yes, it's kvm
Not Belgrade.
Speedtest on the site is Pristina.
The test IP is Artmotion - provides services only in the Kosovo region.
I bet you don't have radios that line up at 1k listeners online at any given moment ;-)
This can be handled well with Icecast and an 512 MB VPS.
As you all know this requires some good ammount of traffic. And because of connectivity issues a Relay in the Balkan region.
uh.... for what exactly?
The language area is large (assuming you send in Serbo Croatian) and the networks are rather good connected (there is basically a fiber tree from Graz all the way down to Kosovo and partly Albania closed by a Greek and Italian segment) with most telcos being on exchanges (even Srbija Telekom is on VIX/Zagreb, they actually messaged me for peering at one point) and large conglomerates owning many assets there (DTAG, A1/Telekom Austria, Telenor, companies IPOd inside EU) you can just do the usual balkan host thing: go to Hetzner.
If you need Bulgarian, try it : https://www.vpsbg.eu/en/
Got some providers and currently testing with them but expecting more
vpsbg.eu = ridicilous pricing for International traffic (3 euro per megabit with 2 years commitment and min purchase of 200 mbps), only Bulgarian traffic is unlimited.
