If anyone's considering this, I've been happy with vpsvillage.com as
well. Their plans pretty much look like what you'd get if Linode
extended its price chart leftward with cheaper/lower-resource plans.
In a year, I've not had any outages, and the machines seem provisioned
very responsibly. I pay $15 quarterly for 64M RAM, 128M swap, 4G disk
and 50G Transfer (actual, not 95th percentile). Using a $95/year
DreamHost package for bulk-serving static content and this for dynamic
content, we happily cut costs on a very large project from a $120/mo
dedicated server package to $155/year. :)

VPSVillage is part of GrokThis.net if you want to do any research. The
GrokThis main site plans don't look particularly exciting.
