Did you get a chance to look at Fivebean (www.fivebean.com)?  I just got
a couple of VPSs over the a couple of days ago.  Prices are good (at
least while the discount holds, and if you sign up while the discount is
on, you get to keep it for the lifetime of the account), and support
seems to be responsive.  I found myself thinking today that they remind
me somewhat of early Mindspring.
