Does anyone have any experience with any companies providing "Virtual Private Server" (also

The main disadvantage I have found is that you cannot run commands which
require real root privileges. For instance: iptables does not work and init
is really a fake init which cannot be controlled.
I looked into using a VPS and the thing which kept me from going
with it was the lack of backups. Any backing up of one's server
had to be done by oneself.
Things may have changed since I looked into it, but at the time
the providers didn't want to back up each user's full partitions,
including OS, each night.
FWIW, I'm using Pair now.
The only thing that I'd like that they don't provide would be
a means to use tomcat and to deploy java servlets. (I'd love
to use snipsnap, for example). Instead, I've deployed both
php and perl based things quite easily. But snipsnap really
is pretty slick...
