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. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
