Larry, as the saying goes "you get what you pay for". If you are looking for cheap hosting then there are thousands of hosts to choose from at the bottom end for 9.99 or so If you want management, better service and support then you should be prepared to pay extra for that. All the hosts I mentioned are on the TOP end of that scale. It depends how much you value your website and your on-line presence as to how much you spend. We often get customers quoting us that they lose thousands in orders if their site is down, yet they are only prepared to spend 9.99 a month on their hosting ??? doesn't make a lot of sense does it.
It is also important to understand the difference between cloud and VPS and which one your getting. a Cheap 9.99 VPS is going to be very heavily contended (this is generally called cloud hosting). $76 for a VPS with CF is actually pretty good, go and look how much CF enterprise actually costs to buy, and then factor that into the equation. With the new CF10 licensing it is even harder for any hosts to scrape this money back and can only have a limited number of servers per license, so $35 per month for cf enterprise is very good.
