I'm guessing since encoding you'll be using most of the cores for a long time?
You need a dedi.
I'm using scaleway to be cheap and do not need a very fast conversion.
In scaleway, I tested ffmpeg and converts to 19 frames per second.
Debian Jessie, 6 cores x64 (VC1L)
With ffmpeg convert video 30fps 720p
I'd suggest a dedicated server if the budget allows or at least look towards a guaranteed/dedicated core VPS to avoid breaching any limits on shared CPU based instances.
time4vps is as cheap as it gets for this config

Does scaleway have any tos/aup that keeps from using the core for a long time?
Scaleway offers dedicated servers so you can do whatever you want with the cores. They do have a VPS line but not sure if they allow 100% use on those.
I don't know if they'd be happy with someone using so much CPU
OP go for a dedi
For encoding - dedicated server only. VPS is not designed for that.
yes it uses 70%-90% cpu, no money to buy big dedis with 32gb+ and 1tb hdd+, it's not needed for me.
they don't have windows vps

What is your budget?
And you do not need Windows for encoding.
Get lost or go back to wjunction
fuck off
What is your budget ?
not fixed, maybe 20.
Could you use just a single 3.5Ghz core that you can use 24/7? I can do that for $15/month. 2 threads for $30, etc.

You can buy Core i5 dedi from kimsufi for 20EUR
edit
Or for 15EUR from https://servdiscount.com/en.html
looks good, will check
I can do VPS with 2xCPU CORE (100%) 3.20Ghz Each , 4GB Ram , 200GB Space , with un-capped bandwidth for $20/month . France Location
Looking for VPS server for Encoding then you can rely with Dialwebhosting.
that your company?
I do not know for sure.
I will start using 100% during this week. If you notice any problems give.
has anyone used this?

maybe you should ask them how much is 8 vCores = how much real cores
Just tried a scaleway arm baremetals and it was way too slow for transcoding x264 to x265. It was doing about 8-10 fps. I'll be trying out their x86_64 core system to see how much better it performs.
For video encoding you might better find a dedicated something like i7 2600 (http://ark.intel.com/products/52213/Intel-Core-i7-2600-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz) which has GPU -Intel HD2000 capability (I think there are similar thread comparing 2 proc which share the same aim was to encode)
x265 is always very slow, have you tested it on other servers?
Definitely it is. But that's super slow still. My e3-1230 does about 75 fps and my dual x5650 does about 150+ fps.
Of course using my own boxes would work but rather offload the cpu abuse to something else.
EDIT: e3-1230 does about 150 FPS and the dual x5650 does about 250 FPS.
