I had a look at the Vivio offerings earlier and while attractive, I can't yet afford the same level of bandwidth that I get with HMS, since the site isn't top-level secret-squirrel stuff (I just need a semblance of security for the site, which is easily achievable with a little work).
Here's the comparison: SmarterLinux: $14.95 per month, 500 MB space, 20GB bandwidth (per month), MySQL, CFMX Enterprise, php/perl/blah/blah Vivio VPS on cheapest virtual box: $15 for box, $60 for 26Gigs (closest to same bandwidth) with heaps more disk space than I need etc. I could also install BD, CFMX or any other software I owned on a HMS VPS and get 200GB of bandwidth for $49.95 per month, so there are a few options when I outgrow the shared hosting.
