I assume you mean 'VPS' right? Anyway I'm curious as to what you use, I've heard good things about RamNode and Digital Ocean, but I've not yet tested, the only VPS provider I have experience with is Linode (two 512MB Linodes for a few years now)

I'm a linode fan too and recently tried digital ocean. It's very similar. The digital ocean machine is: a bit faster for disk access, cheaper! The Linode machine is: much faster network, much better management tools.

I'll probably keep using both!
