[wplug] VPS hosts at around 40$/mo?

[Bruce Letterle]

I have used Linode for projects off and on over the last couple of years 
and have been very satisfied with their performance, uptime and support 
(what little we needed). They have an extensive library of Linux 
distributions to pick from, too.

I suppose the question is, do you just need raw distributions or 
prepackaged applications? Linode only offers distros, not bundles with 
applications. We have worked with VPS hosting and have used packages 
like Turnkey Linux and JumpBox because we support quite a few of those 
applications and it is nice to have them preloaded on a VPS. We cannot 
use Linode for those, so we offer them bundled on other servers.
