    I have a VPS at johncompanies.com, with which I'm very happy. Default
    you get 4Gb disk and 40Gb xfer on a shared server. I'm running Debian
    on mine which they provided initially, and I later upgraded as I saw fit.

    I pay $45/month because I qualified as an open source contributor,
    otherwise it's $65/month.

    Their support persons are very qualified and have always been helpful
    too me.
