Are you sure 200 IOPS isn’t a typo? If not, you are being ripped off.

I use Linode, for example, and I get *warning* alerts (not a hard limit) by 
default at 1000 IOPS, and even that warning threshold is configurable.

Linode has been benchmarked at much better than 200 IOPS: 
http://serverbear.com/10-linode-1gb-linode

Even though on that ServerBear site, Linode doesn’t score particularly high in 
terms of I/O, I can tell you now, the crap that you’ve gone through generally 
Just Doesn’t Happen™.
