Linode.com, I have been with Linode for about 3 months. Support is phenomenal, network speed is solid and the management console is unbeatable. What a pleasure.
VPSLand, Simple - They do NOT offer support. You can't talk to a person - trust me.. you'll need to at some point. Don't fall for the cheap price like I did.. in the long run - You'll lose by going with them
Linode.com, I've been with linode for a year now. They offer excellent services with many distros available. The console management with ssh is what you need. I really recommend it.

Gandi, I went with Gandi for a while about a year ago. The admin panel was pretty convenient, and provisioning was fast. I was worried about their many features they were adding that had no value for me, though; lots of pre-configured pieces for newbies to use. I don't want to pay for that if I don't use it. Otherwise, things were pretty good, with one major problem: the system comes set up so that you can't log in as root. This means that if you want to write scripts to automatically provision servers, you still have to put in an extra layer to access the user account and enable root login. Really annoying, and required extra work to modify the scripts that I use for all my other VPSs.

What is VPS?
Virtual private servers or Virtual dedicated servers are a form of virtualization that split a single physical server into multiple virtual servers. The practice of partitioning a single server so that it appears as multiple servers has long been common practice in mainframe computers, but has seen a resurgence lately with the development of software and technologies such as VMware, Xen, FreeBSD Jail, User-mode Linux, Linux-VServer, FreeVPS, OpenVZ, and Virtuozzo.
The benefits of VPS Hosting are many:
- You have root access to the server
- Install any application you want, ROR, PHP, Tomcat, Oracle...
- Have just about any flavour of linux, Debian, Suse, Redhat...
- Some virtualization software lets you use different flavours of Windows
- Guaranteed uptime with most suppliers
What is Xen?
Xen is an open source virtual machine monitor, developed by the University of Cambridge and now XenSource. It is intended to run up to 100 full featured OSs on a single computer. Operating systems must be explicitly modified ("ported") to run on Xen (although compatibility is maintained for user applications). This enables Xen to achieve high performance virtualization without special hardware support.
What is Virtuozzo?
Virtuozzo is a proprietary operating system virtualization product produced by SWsoft, Inc. A version that supports Linux has been available since 2001; a version that supports Microsoft Windows became available in 2005.
Note: We don't index quite a few providers who use Virtuozzo as they do not specify guaranteed RAM (not burst RAM) on their hosting plans. Having said that, guaranteed is not necessarily guaranteed because Virtuozzo services (unlike Xen) can be oversold.
