If I were just looking for a shell account somewhere where I could screen my irssi (I drive to several different buildings per day and find it irritating to have to restart all of my network apps), where should I look?

go on irc and find someone with a vps and ask them for an account

or pay 3 bux a month at http://www.amdwebhost.com/

I remember hearing about this one hosting company that offers VPS's to users which are really cheap, but are completely unsupported. I think I remember hearing about how they get their hardware from some other larger hosting company as handy downs when the larger company upgrades. I can't remember the name of this company, can anoyone help me out?

Also, theres another company (which I can't remember the name of either) thats similar in that their VPS's are completely unmanaged. The website is plain text and their prices are half of what linode/slicehost costs, and you get the same specs.

Basically I'm wanting to move from my Linode account to something thats roughly the same size, yet a little cheaper. I've been administrating sites deployed on VPS's for years now and have never had the need to file a single ticket. Why pay extra for stuff you'll never use?

post your specs and what you pay

currently I pay $20 for a linode 360, which is great but I could use a little more RAM.

http://www.prgmr.com keep in mind you get what you pay for as performance wise they do not stack up to Linode/etc.

Awesome, thats the one. Sucks that they don't offer 32bit Ubuntu though :(
