[TriLUG] Cheap Local LAMP hosting?

[Brian Cottingham]

A VPS definitely sounds like the way to go. I've heard good things from 
Linode customers, but for price, Rackspace Cloud Servers[1] are hard to 
beat. Starting at $11/mo + $0.22/GB bandwidth, all of the major server 
distros, and access to many of Rackspace's support resources.
