Thanks everyone for comments!

So here are my preliminary thoughts:
* Linode offers more (esp. RAM) than Slicehost and others for 20$,
  and they even provide 64-bit 2.6.30.5 Xen kernel
  (and even more - allow using a custom kernel with PV-GRUB).
* Lylix and SevenL offers less than others in 20-25$ price range.
* VPSLink and VPSVille start from 8$ (64M enough for a homepage?).
* VPSVille has a datacenter in the UK,
  which gives me roughly twice lower ping delays than Canada/USA.
  Anyone knows other good providers in EU?
* Found an interesting provider: http://openhosting.com/
  which uses KVM and has an interesting pricing scheme.

I hope to get things ready for deployment around December-January.
Until then I'm close to start with VPSVille UK
and use its 8$ plan as a sandbox.
When demands for a hosting will rise I may move to Linode.
