They seem really expensive. I use buyvm.net and love them.

make sure you are comparing to the KVM prices; OpenVZ is cheaper because allocated ram is... not comparable to allocated ram in xen or kvm.

It is a fair criticism, though; the KVM prices are comparable to Xen prices, and in that department, they have me beat for guests smaller than 1024M.[1] And you are right that it is time for me to increase my ram per dollar (and my transit per dollar) to remain in the niche where I live. I'm working on it, and you can be sure that existing customers will get that upgrade before I offer it to new users.

[1]I price things at a flat fee per customer ($4) then a cost per unit of ram ($1 for every 64M ram) - I find that there are many providers that beat me on the low end but that I beat on the high end. This is in part an artefact of my manual processes, (or rather, an artefact of how manual per-user processes altered my pricing choices.)

I would prefer more disk per dollar though. Besides that I'm a happy customer.

I don't see any Xen options on this site.

I am a fan and a customer of ThrustVPS. They are similarly priced but with a lot more network transfer allocation. No native IPv6 though.

I was a satisfied customer of thrust too but their support staff has become really terrible. They broke my reverse DNS and it took a week to get it fixed (they kept closing my ticket saying it was fixed without verifying that it was. Turns out they had missed a period somewhere further up in the bind file.

The prices were great though.

I've been a customer for years. They're a great operation. Their owner is on hacker news with username lsc.
