What's Your VPS?

[_Rogue]

I figured I'd start a thread for people to post what they have for a Virtual Private Server (VPS). Post your Provider, Price, Specs, Location, Use and anything else.

 

If you don't know what a VPS is it is basically an Operating System (OS) that is running in parallel with others on a single physical computer or multiple computers linked together in a cluster. These parallel operating systems are secured from each other and appear to the end user/client the same as it would if you had that same OS simply running on a dedicated computer. The main advantages of a VPS over a dedicated server are scalability meaning more RAM, Cores, or Storage can be allocated to a given virtual machine at a moments notice. Also a VPS has ease of mobility meaning the server can be 'virtually' moved across the world if need be in a matter of a few minutes.

Can be used for hosting websites, game servers, torrent servers, ftp, online or offsite backups, etc. There's hundreds of uses for a VPS.

I edited the first post to explain what a VPS is for anybody that does not know. I hope my explanation will be sufficient.
