Out of curiosity, what VPS do you use?
I used this Black Friday offer, or more specifically: 8x this one + 2 TB extra SAN storage.
It says "Dedicated Core", but I had my doubts about that, considering the price. Support told me I can use the CPUs to the max, but after many hours of Trust data processing, I saw 60% CPU steal this morning. That's unfortunate, but doesn't really matter for what I need. I'll adjust my usage a bit so it takes a bit longer at lower CPU load. I don't mind if the oldest pages have to wait a bit longer to update their navigation bar, but I'd like other tasks to not be delayed too much.
According to Lowendtalk, the host has a good reputation. All in all I think it's a good deal.

While i can easily find VPS which offer 8 core/32GB RAM at slightly higher price, usually it comes with much smaller storage.
That is what convinced me to get this one. 2 TB less fast storage and 1 TB fast storage is a good combination for intended use.
