[NBLUG/talk] Cheap Virtual Private Servers

[Steve Johnson]

I'm using Host Virtual (http://www.hostvirtual.com/) and have been
using them now for a couple years.  The package I have is one of their
higher end packages and is not oversold, but they offer packages as
low as $9.95 a month..  They also have different locations and you can
select where you want your vps to be hosted.. I chose San Jose for
mine. :)
