Looking for Affordable KVM VPS
Heyo, I'm looking for an affordable KVM VPS. That being said, I cannot have restrictions on the occasional full CPU allocation usage as the programs I run are mostly fairly heavy on CPU and RAM usage.
I am looking for:
12GB RAM
100GB HDD
4 core processor/8 thread
1Gbit uplink
I'd really like to keep this on the cost-efficient side until I can get my team in order and our bylaws posted. Please let me know your offer or even link me to a provider that might be worth taking a look at. Thanks!!!

Which location?
If Germany is ok, take a look at Hetzner and netcup.
Yeah you can't beat a Hetzner auction dedi for this. Anyway you're best off with a dedi rather than a VPS, in whatever location pretty much.
True. I apologize for not clarifying, this must be hosting in the United States.
If that's just for geo-latency reasons and you can also consider Canada, OVH BHS (Quebec) is a good place to look. See checkservers.ovh for availability.
Take a look at https://www.wholesaleinternet.net/custom_dedicated/ They are located in the US and have some pretty cheap dedicated servers which might satisfy your needs.
Take a look at wishosting.com. They offer unlimited CPU meaning that you can hammer the CPU anytime you want. You can also purchase two packages of the same type and combine them into one big VPS. For example
KVM HDD Plus
2x KVM HDD (rare package, not always 2 are available)
KVM HDD Plus II
...and a performance beast - KVM SSD Plus LA
I also see a disproportion in your requirements. You are asking for 4(8) CPU combined with 12GB RAM. A reasonable node has 128GB RAM and 8(16)/16(32) cores. I guess that you got used to providers that sell /fake/ cores to make the offer more appealing. They just split a core/thread to few vCPUs. Wishosting sometimes (depending on package) oversells the CPU to make most out of it, but you can always expect to have access to one physical core per 2vCPU (1vCPU - 1 thread). If you don't want to get /fake/ cores you should roughly get 1 vCPU per 4-8GB RAM. Assigning actual 4(8) cores to a 12GB VM makes no sense, unless those VM run on CPU optimized node, but those usually cost way more which is guess is not what you are looking for. Ref plug: If you find what I said helpful you can use ref link in my signature (lmao).
Ended up doing this, got dedicated server with fairly high score for $24ish a month. Wish it wasn't in Poland but I can overlook that at this price.
