If you are looking for a bargain with little commitment, you might want to take a look at Hetzner's auction.

The gotcha is the allowable bandwidth for their auction machines are lower than their normally priced servers.

I got lucky and found a 32GB machine with 4 Samsung SSDs in their auction and it has served me well for testing. I write about it my blog below:

I think I'm paying about 68 euros a month for it. The Canadian dollar has taken a beating, so it's not as good of a deal as it use to be, but it's still a good deal none the less.
