Hosting Providers
- gandi.net - $5 a month for a small instance, 30gb traffic
- GANDI also provides VPS with unmetered 10Mbps link and I can vouch that using at least 2/3 of this 24/7 gets no complaints. Billing is a big pain in the ass though, there's no way to auto-bill so you have to remember to fill your prepaid account. Troofmaster 14:57, 24 March 2013 (EDT)

Joyent
I've had good experiences running high-traffic, low-CPU jobs at Joyent due to the incredible 20TB/mo included (with a single account, last I checked, not per-instance). Troofmaster 14:57, 24 March 2013 (EDT)
Been running a extra small instance for a few weeks. No uptime or connectivity issues. A decent service but the problems listed below make this a second not a first choice. omf_ 0:44, 27 March 2013 (EDT)
- Extra small Linux instance
- $0.03 per hour
- 512 MB RAM
- /dev/vda1 9 GB ext4 partition, minus 750mb for the operating system
- /dev/vdb1 15 GB ext4 partition. mounted as /data/
- 1 cpu
- Small Linux instance
- $0.085 per hour
- 1 GB RAM
- 30 GB storage
- 1 cpu
- 20 TB outbound per month free (and it's FAST)
- Debian 6.x and Centos
Problems
- No support for installing custom Linux distributions. Meaning you have to install everything you need every single time since you always start off with one of their fresh installs.
- Cannot find a way to add more hard disk and RAM to a running instance.
- The wiki is currently down :(
- Some scripts on there site are just broken links :(
- No way to view your current account balance or hours usage.
linode
- Linode 1G
- $19.95 per month
- 1 GB RAM
- 24 GB storage
- 2 TB per month
- Linode 2G
- Linux
- $39.95 per month
- 2 GB RAM
- 48 GB storage
- 4 TB per month
Linode upgraded all their plans on April 9, 2013. http://blog.linode.com/2013/04/09/linode-nextgen-ram-upgrade/
BuyVM (VPS)
- OpenVZ plan
- $15/year
- 128 MB RAM (burst to 256 MB)
- 15 GB storage
- 1 CPU
- 500 GB per month bandwidth
- CentOS/Debian/Fedora/Ubuntu
- OpenVZ means you can't change the kernel
- Burstable RAM is availible as long as there is capacity on the host node, which seems to be almost all the time
- Additional IP v4 addresses $1/month, but they probably won't let you cycle them to avoid bans
- Additional bandwidth $2.50/month for 1TB extra with no maximum
- Larger plans also available with similar pricing
- Plans often go out of stock, especially the smaller ones
- IRC support and information about stock in #Frantech on irc.dairc.net
