Hello, there!
Just some advices that might be useful
For every user you're expecting to have, you need at least 150 MB of RAM.
How many ram do you need in total?
It depends of what plugins do you have and what they do, how many users will you expect (In this case, 250 users), for optimal results, you need at least 150 MB of RAM per user approx, as well as 2 to 3 GB of HDD storage per user (A little bit more if you want to make daily backups).
Don't forget that getting a dedicated server with SSD is always better but expensive than getting one with HDD.
What about the server location?
If you're living in America choose the nearest location as possible.
Should I send flat files databases or get a dedicated MySQL Server?
Depends of how much data do you want to store as well as the plug-in, some plugins works better with flat files databases (like economy plugins).

I'm currently in the making of some optimization and System Administration scripts for everyone to use, as for hosting; I would strongly recommend either OVH or ReliableSite.
Minecraft requires a processor with a good single thread performance, since Minecraft it self is highly single threaded. (Hope that kind of made sense)
I would also recommend these java parameters for optimal experience;
