Better VPS hosts according to WebHostingTalkAugust 24, 2004
I have been looking around for VPS hosting and reading customer reviews at WebHostingTalk.com. VPSColo, Dinix, Linode and TecTonic seem to be the better ones in terms of reliability, support, etc.
I’ve been very happy with johncompanies.com. They have a good deal if you’re an opensource developer for a Linux VPS system for $45/month.
I have been very happy with RimuHosting.
I’d pay attention at the distro they are using as a server.
I don’t think Fedora is the right choice for server usages, imho.

I chose Linode because of its Linode Platform Manager. It allows you to quickly install a distro from disk images via a web-based interface. I intend to use either Gentoo or Debian.
Right now, emerge is taking a bloody long time heh. It took more than 6 hours to emerge glibc (which is not unexpected).
I was looking for a Canadian VPS and choose to go with MonsterHosting.ca. I have been very happy with there servers and service. I also noticed when I was shopping that most hosts don’t give you access to the Power Panel that comes with Virtuozzo but Monster does. It has some really nice features to make life easier.

TecTonic looks pretty good, especially the Power or Professional plan.
