Re: VPS FreeBSD Hosting
Hello, We at SmartServ Hosting, http://www.smart-serv.net/, have been offering VPS containers supporting FreeBSD for over a year and previously ran all our services from FreeBSD on bare metal before moving into our virtualization environment where we continue to use FreeBSD for our core services. We have hosts available in US and France currently.

Scott, Not exactly sure what your needs are, but we have a shared hosting system that uses FreeBSD as its back end, and we offer competitive features and prices, with a really cool control panel... Our main package for domains is only $12.99/mo and you get 750MB of disk, 15GB of transfer per month, and all the other features that you would expect from a high end web hosting company. And we didn't just go out and buy someone's hosting platform software, we built our own from scratch, using FreeBSD as the base operating system to provide a fully redundant shared hosting system that can handle all of your needs.

Cheap FreeBSD hosting?
Well it seems my "perfect" FreeBSD webhost, which had great service, great features, and a great support community has been sold-out to a large webhost consolidation company with a reputation for ruining every company they buy.

Re: freebsd hosting
www.LayeredTech.com is good for FreeBSD servers, they are flexable and offers any version of FreeBSD you need. Many other providers do not offer latest version, they still stay with version 4.x and say that is the only supported version. May be i should say, LayeredTech.com is a reason why i use FreeBSD on my servers.

Re: freebsd hosting
I have leased a dedicated host for several years with mikro-data.net who is located in Kentucky and been very happy with their pricing, service and responsiveness. Basically, I just told them what version of FreeBSD I wanted on the server and they loaded it. They sent me the root password and they haven't touched it again except at my request. It's worked out great for me. They are very friendly to open-source communities, so if you tell them you heard about them from me on the freebsd-questions mailing list, they might even give you a discounted rate. I recieved a discounted rate when I heard about them through the local LUG anyway... I don't get any perks for any of this, in case you're wondering. I would send questions about rates to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you're interested.
