Hi,
I thought I'd post a quick benchmark for anyone interested in the deals on at oneprovider at the minute. I picked up the i3 530 offer for 20.40 EUR a month including all fees. They resell online.net, but provide a rather good albeit slow support service. The server I got was a i3 2100 which has a passmark score of around 3800. Not bad considering the price. It has 1gbps connectivity in Paris. I'm running it with a custom real time kernel and it's in RAID 0 for speed (I have a backup server so a HDD failure doesn't bother me). Here's the benchmark results, I'm very pleased with it for the money:
