Apart from Amazon, who else are masternode ops using? (Pref non US)
Speaking of "apart from Amazon"... I would be interested to know what percentage of the 50-odd masternodes are there right now. It'd be easy for them to shut them all down on a whim.
has a useful list of forex vps hosting companies, which you would hope have reliable up-time and reasonable 'default' security, although the focus is mostly on windows for use with the MT4 platform. Lower prices though.
bosonvps.com has very cheap linux servers which are reseller packages for privatelayer.com - for the Switzerland hosted option. I've had very mixed success with bosonvps though, although privatelayer.com itself is OK.
Best bet is to track reseller packages to the source and check the T's and C's, although all non-us VPS are still much more costly.
Their is a good list of Tor friendly VPS servers somewhere on the web.
Another option (perhaps the best choice imho) would be to host the node on a home server and ask your existing provider for a 2nd static IP address for a game server or something, then exit that through a good VPN provider perhaps. Their is a lot to be said for owning and having access to the physical equipment for your master node.
If I find a good option or two I'll post them up, but it certainly makes no sense for everyone to be using the same cloud resources.
