Hello,
I've been looking at various options for a Linux-based virtual private server, but I'm having trouble deciding what I want, mostly since I'm having trouble getting google to find them for me.
Besides that, looking at their websites doesn't tell me how reliable they are (businesses usually exaggerate this and/or are very misleading). For that, I need people who use the service(s) to tell about the good and the bad.
I figure on a forum this size a handful of you might have some experience.
So far, I've been looking at Redwood Virtual (http://www.redwoodvirtual.com) and Linode (http://www.linode.com). Both seem very nice, but the Redwood Virtual folks did not respond to my E-Mail asking questions, so I'm wary of using their service.
Ideally, I want something for about $10-$15 a month, with at least 100 gigabytes of bandwidth a month. Processor time and hard drive space are not all that important, but 5 gigs would be nice (I can live with 2 if needs be).
All I'm going to be running at first are a web server with static content (dynamic later on) and a Mumble (http://mumble.sourceforge.net/) server so my friends and I can voice chat while playing games. Neither should require much horsepower.
Thank you.
