Ask HN: Looking for cheap VPS at US westcoast

Hello community,

I'm a developer from Germany and I'm looking for a reliable hosting service at the US west coast at a fair price. I don't need much CPU or RAM for my project, but at least 3 IPv4, 1GB RAM, >100GB traffic and a short route to Akamai. The price I have in mind should be below $20 / month, rather 10-15USD.

I already found one hoster in Seattle offering a CentOS Linux container with 4 Xeon cores, 4GB RAM, 5 IPs at $12/month but the route to Akamai has 8hops and takes 60ms.

The price perfomance ratio is awesome, but the network is too far away from the next Akamai edge servers for my use case. Can anyone recommend other hosters?
