And not to beat a dead horse, but I just found out they're having a 20% off
sale on Linux VPS. So if you click that link and then at checkout enter the
promo code MEMBANK20 you can get a VPS for as little as $3.97/mo (assuming
you pay for a year).

I know, that's cheap. The only two problems I've had with them are that the
disk i/o is very mediocre and the OpenVZ platform doesn't allow swap, so
when you run out of memory you get the good ol' fashioned "things start
getting spontaneously killed" effect.
