I've been using vigabyte (vigabyte.com) for a VPS [1] - they're part of the smartyhost group. I haven't used them heavily but nothing bad for the year I've been on them. Service is a bit slow and I had to spend an initial session disabling and uninstalling unwanted software on my server. Smartyhost has now become part of MYOB which makes me a little nervous.
(This is all vps, not shared hosting so you need to do root admin stuff and your own web server, web stats ...) Other VPS's: web24.com.au - surprisingly good service, confusing setup but fast. Network or performance is a bit suspect which is something I'd like to see improve. They use openvz/virtuozzo/container-style virtualisation. In US, slicehost.com is good. vpsfarm.com seems like good value at half the price of slicehost for 1gb ram (disk and bandwidth are different) but I haven't tried them. Always looking for more aussie vps providers... Regards, Daniel [1] $49/month for 256RAM - I think they're vmware/esx based, but they have some spin about being able to quickly expand ram and possibly disk with minimal downtime. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
