[ale] OT - Linux Based Web Hosting Services

[Nathan J. Underwood]

I agree with Alan on this.  We've used a number of 'discount' VPS type 
solutions in the past, and our experience has been that you get can get 
either 1) cheap hosting, or 2) good hosting.  We've not been able to 
find both.  One of the least expensive *good* options that we've found 
has been Server Beach, but the cost is substantially higher than the $16 
per mo that Bob mentioned earlier.
