Well - as long as we're recommending VPS providers, I'll throw linode.com into the arena. I've been with these guys for nearly 5 years now and have yet to have a single issue with them that wasn't resolved within a couple of hours. Chris Aker, the owner, and his 5 other staff members are regularly in #linode on irc.oftc.net, and are always willing to ask questions or just chat about linuxy stuff. Linode has cabinets in 4 different datacenters around the US (Dallas, Atlanta, Newark, Fremont), and they have 6 different sized VPS packages, depending on your needs. They support cool things like IP failover, disk image cloning between linodes, and they have a private "back end" network that is available to you for inter-linode traffic. Traffic that goes over this private network doesn't get counted against your monthly bandwidth allotment. They have pre-made disk images for all the major distros that are available to you, or you have the option to "roll your own" disk image if you prefer. Okay, this is sounding like a sales pitch, so I'll stop now. -Erik
