Thanks, I hadn't heard of ovh. My concern with going with someone like that is I don't know how much better the support will be than prgmr. I think I should just stop acting cheap and go with Linode.
Well, basically if something goes wrong (e.g. server goes down a few times in 2 days), then at least someone I can talk to, ask what's happening instead of a wall of silence? I don't need phone support, even email is fine as long as I am not ignored.
