Kimsufi - AFAIK they get their low prices by using second-hand hardware, but I've not found that to be an issue (hard drive failures are a little more common than the leaseweb servers, but "more common" is still only "one failure per server per 5 years" - and that's easily mitigated by setting up a pair of servers with failover)
