	My GrokThis Xen VPS is $20/month but I have complete access of the
virtual machine (read: root access) so I can pretty much run what I
want. I run the MTA of my choice on the ports of my choice and with the
anti-spam setup of my choice. Something I found lacking with just about
every other option out there. I get almost no spam as a result.

	Now GrokThis does have a smaller division called VPS Village that is
currently not taking orders as they get more hardware and IP space but
their lowest Xen VPS package is only $5/month.

	I guess for me the cost isn't so much an issue as I write if off as
business expense of doing consulting at the end of the year anyway.

	Regards,
	Jeremy
