I'm looking for the best place to rent a mincraft server for about 10 slots. Recommendations are appreciated.
and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them

Just tagging them so they might notice in case they don't come in here :P

Jebus, are you looking for a vanilla server or one that runs server mods like bukkit? Also how familiar are you with hosting and running an smp server?

A dedicated IP isn't necessary, all it means is that instead of typing something like 123.45.6.789:55555 to connect to the server you would just need the 123.45.6.789
If you want to up the slot count then your entire server setup including map, files, plugins ect will be retained.

I'm running a server on a pretty old computer (we're talking Pentium 4 with less than 2 GB RAM) and it lags but is definitely playable for a few people at once. Probably not 10 though.
Couple of things you will need to do:
The Minecraft wiki should tell you pretty much everything about setting up a server.
Edit: This is assuming it's a dedicated server. If it's also his PC, you have other issues to deal with.
All that said there really isn't any reason not to try it.
