I have the 64 MB account and I run Apache, Mysql, Firebird, and Zope. (plus Courier mail) If I run only apache, Zope, and Mysql, 64 MB worked fine, but with mail and Firebird it's running about 20MB on the swap now. Of course, I setup Debian on it and omitted everything from running that didnt need to be there. Even tweeked Apache the best I could to limit processes, but it's working great for me.
The only disadvantage to running Unixshell.com is that you are on your own as far as management goes. You have to do all the security and setup yourself. But they have this kick ass installer from the web that sets up an image from your fav distro. It's pretty sweet if you like the control and dont mind spending the time to setup everything. A big advantage that they have is, for a VPS solution, you arent docked for running over your memory. See, if I go to 80MB, it just used some swap. It's just like I had my own server with a fixed amount of ram. If I went with other VPS solutions, I would be charged for using more memory. And since I dont know what resources I might need, that wouldnt work. I've never ran Plone, so I dont know what is involved or what kind of resource you would need. I have a low traffic setup, but I have one client that runs a billing/customer tracking Zope/mysql app with 4 users on it all day and I havent had any trouble. Best I can say is, try it for a month. It's only $15 - $20 to see if it will fit your needs. If you decide to go with them, send me an email and I'll give you a few tips to get started as I was really confused at first. (regarding the remote console and ssh) It's very cool what they have going, but it's "unmanaged" and you have to be willing to run it yourself. (they manage the hardware and netowrk of course.) On the other hand, Zettai.net has been great for me too. I think they have separate Plone hosting from their Zope hosting now. They have been very reliable and have good support. Plus you dont have to do any setup on the server itself, so you can be running quickly. But, again, if you like the total control, the Unixshell.com rocks.
