These do look like excellent value! 
I booked our servers with Hetzner and got the IP addresses and root
passwords with a few hours. Very good first impressions of telephone support
too. In fact, Jan was probably too shy to mention this, but Hetzner support
told me he will get some sort of credit if you put his name in the
"Reference" field if you happen to decide based on his tip, like we did,
nice tip, thanks Jan.

Hosted vps might give you backup and fail-over very cost-effectively.

I never found VPS to be cost effective (for my needs). For $100/month
or so I have a core 2-duo dedicated box with 4GB RAM/120GB disk and
10mb/s throughput that can host 2-3 virtual machines of my own
devising or just be a bare metal server.

Lots more maintenance overhead but the flexibility, speed and
consistent cost I found to be worth the extra funds and time vs a VPS.

which means that it doesn't need to scale to "racks and racks of" servers.
The subject line also asks about "VPS" which I assume to still mean virtual
private server.  That's why but Luther and I gave examples of very
minimal-cost VPS solutions.

Hi Matej,

I'm using it (3 root servers atm) - even for hosting high traffic customers. The
bandwidth is amazing and there hasn't been any service problem since I'm on it.
I had a hard disk failure once and it has been replaced within 3 hours (with a
downtime of 15 minutes).

I only have positive responses from other clients hosting there as well.

Best regards, --- Jan.

I used to use slicehost but switched to prgmr since it was cheaper and
had less outages believe it or not.

Hi,

I'm always surprised, how expensive hosting is on the other side of the ocean. 
;-)

Just two examples from Germany, where server performance make Slicehost look
like a lame duck:

http://hetzner.de/en/ (my favorite!)
http://webtropia.com/home/ (only in Germany, sorry)

I agree, though, that if the data has to travel from Germany to the US the
experience might not be the same like from here. ;-)
