Post some provider's details
Probably most buyers care about performance the most and we have a yabs mega thread. But some also care about features, like porn, Tor, "unmetered traffic", torrenting, DMCA, BGP, (routed) IPv6 subnet, CPU vulnerability mitigation.
Post some provider's details, anything you think is useful for buyers, even well known, so we can overlook them in a single page or search more easily. Please include links from official sites or forum threads if possible.
I'll start off, with my favorite provider, BuyVM.
1. Unmetered traffic means it does not charge you any traffic fee but it's not dedicated, they throttle you if you use too much, official statement is 100mbit/s for every 4GB RAM bought.
2. Routed /48 IPv6 subnet for each VM.
3. Allows Tor exit relays in all locations but you must follow their "Tor Guidelines" https://buyvm.net/acceptable-use-policy/ .
4. Luxembourg is where DMCA complaints are ignored. A recent link https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3249555/#Comment_3249555
5. Looking glasses and test files https://speedtest.$loc.buyvm.net/ where loc=lv,ny,mia,lu
6. spectre-meltdown-checker v0.44+ paranoid mode (https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker) , everything OK. (Can actually open another thread for spectre-meltdown-checker)
Contabo does not allow porn or Tor relay of any kind (even middle relay) .
We could turn this into a big wiki article if we have enough details and enough "citation needed". Thank you!

Something useful about German providers:
Hetzner, Netcup, Contabo.. : Contracts are contracts. Widerruf is 14 days and you better read what you sign.
Contabo: PM/Call Support to get SSD Limit lifted. Great pricing. Support better than ppl claim it to be.
Hetzner: No mining. No illegal shit. No "DMCA-free" host. Awesome and reliable for legit bussiness/projects.
Netcup: Billing. Be aware of it. Read it three times. Ask if you have questions. Hourly billing also is "interesting". Domain can not be added if ns dont point to their ns for their shared hosting offer. With this you unfortunately can not migrate a website to them without downtime (normally you would just add your domain at new host, change your hosts file or use hosts.cx to transfer your site and in the end change ns from old to new to avoid downtime. Not possibls here) . Other than that, great bang for your buck and solid performance.
