Looking into Linux VPS hosting

[rhu]

To resolve my current email problems, I clearly need to start paying for a VPS. I know several of you use openhosting.com but I don't want to spend $20/month if I don't have to. Anyone know of a less-expensive solution? My primary goal is to run exim. A quick Google search turned up an outfit called vpslink who have a Debian VPS package with 100GB/month of bandwidth for less than $7/month if you prepay for a year, which is about the right price point. Anyone heard of them? Any better ideas?

Thanks!

Those prices are tempting ... let us know if you find anything better (or find any reason to believe vpslink wouldn't provide good service).

Did you end up going with this? Has it been worthwhile?

Yes, I went with them, and it's worked out fine.

Did you go with Xen or OpenVZ? My needs are pretty basic so I'm thinking of OpenVZ, but the part of me which says "get the most configurable option just in case" isn't shutting up... ;-)

I don't remember. I think I went with simple, since I only planned to run the one server on it.
