Mediam has excellent service but is expensive. I have been a customer of http://mediam.fi/ since 2007-03-28 and have never ever had service outages that were not caused (and fixed a little later on) by me. Naturally I have needed to renegotiate the terms of our contract on numerous occasions because there is really no sense in paying list price for ICT, IaaS or telephony services. I am happy to find that they founded http://helsinkidc.fi/ their own fully owned and operated data center so I can rest assured they will be able to provide ample resources for decades to come.
Host in Lithuania
https://www.time4vps.eu/ is probably the global price leader. They have an affiliate program to which I subscribe to and also a reseller program. They have rock-bottom prices, but their services are top-notch. I have a backup server with them and find their service very reliable and friendly. Their selection of VPSes run on top of either OpenVZ operating-system-level virtualization or a more advanced, and thus slightly more expensive KVM hypervisor.
Host in Netherlands
https://www.transip.eu/ has been my economical, reliable and friendly green hosting guys since July 2013 and I can full-heartedly recommend them as a high quality and reasonably priced solution to serving Central Europe. Transip.eu is proud to host a Debian package repository mirror for super fast installations and upgrades.
Host in France
https://www.scaleway.com/ I am not a customer of theirs but their price point is excellent and have been recommended to check them out by someone I trust. Consider this hosting company if you need to serve Central Europe. In additional to boring X86-64 architecture they also offer ARMv8 VPS and use KVM for hypervisor
