Well, they missed the company I'm using. Oh well. I find it hard to imagine people paying 100+ a month for a VPS when you can get a dedicated machine for less than that.

Watch out for VPSes by the way. They generally don't allow swap spaces, which can completely prevent the use of certain systems. If you're using LAMP, you're okay, of course.


A $100/month dedicated server probably doesn't have RAID 10 or other server-class features, but it will probably have more CPU capacity than a $100/month VPS. As virtualization software improves, I expect the advantages of VPSes to increase.

If anyone knows of a particularly good provider, I'm willing to add it to the database. I just added Prgmr.com since they appear to be cheap and hacker-friendly.


Just a note concerning the <$20/month table, which is all I've looked at thus far: VPSLink's platform is Virtuozzo.

And I can't speak for any of their other services, but their $7.95/month service SUCKS.


I'm using http://prgmr.com at the moment, $5/month 64MB RAM, 1 GB disk and 10 GB Transfer
