         I just recently obtained a VPS from Tektonic <http://www.tektonic.net>
    and they have been great. My first night I flubbed and messed up the VPS
    twice. They were helpful and prompt on answering my trouble tickets.

         Not sure though with my VPS I am averaging about 5Gb/month. Most of that
    is in rather large PNGs in an image gallery I host. Prior to that gallery
    being up I rarely broke 1Gb. Most plans these days offer dozens of Gb at the
    lowest levels.

         Tektonic lets you build up your VPS how you like and if you find you need
    more HD space, RAM, traffic you can always add it onto the plan later.
