I actually use digital ocean, it's a vps, and they're definitely good 
for the price.  I was running a starbound and minecraft server on it, 
and using it as a remote shell for things, never gave me any issue cept 
I needed more memory to do both.  I ended up have to install some 
scripts to mitigate asses cracking against my instance, but afd and bfd 
worked great on it.

That was ubuntu server, but they had a lot of options.
