Don't need anything too fancy, just something that has decent uptime and is enough to run a Wordpress site and a mail server. Budget hosts are preferred, as my budget is tight.<p>I had a look around, but some opinions might be helpful too. What would you guys suggest?<p>Stuff that I've checked:<p>http://quickweb.co.nz/vps-plans/supa-vps-plans.html (Seemed a little too good to be true)<p>http://prgmr.com/xen/ (The $8 plan, but I see no way to order)
This topic is always coming up on HN, and generally the two favourites are www.slicehost.com and www.linode.com. (Personally I've used them both and would support both, though my choice is currently Linode due to availability of UK servers.)<p>A few example previous topics:<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=966555" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=966555</a><p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1432386" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1432386</a><p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1496630" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1496630</a><p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1658161" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1658161</a>
How about an EC2 micro (600MB ram) reserved instance? $54 one-time fee for a year (~$4.5/m), then .007 an hour (~$5/m). Comes out to a around $10-12/m depending on bandwidth usage and other AWS usage factors.
