Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm torn between this and just setting up
a rack of my own machines with software load balancers. The debate will
continue..

I like virtualization a lot for simple things like proxys and mirrors,

doing VPS. My advice is to find a host that allows you to build your
own images
Im using linode.com to host a vitual mail/webmail server (they use UML for
virtualization). Their control panel allows you to build a disk image from
among 10 Linux distributions and then boot it as a VPS. You can then ssh
into it and build your server software as normal.
You also have console access by ssh'ing into the host server for your VPS
where you're connected to the virtual console via a screen session.
Disk space, memory and IP address upgrades are managed through software
that upgrades your VPS (which you can then reboot through the control
panel).
I thought this is a nice way to run your own server without the hardware
worries. Just passing on my positive experience.
