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

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 had a strange experience with these guys. I signed up and didn't get anything back. When I sent an e-mail two days later telling them to just forget it and cancel my account, they told me they were busy and didn't get around to setting up my VPS. Just weird...

Everything is out of stock

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

I believe you, but I was gonna give them I try and apparently I can't!

Or looking at the other links, noting that the number in pkgpart=x increments by 2 for each package in the list, open the 2nd link and decrement by 2 to get the 64m package.

Or you can just select it on the drop down list of any other page. The pkgpart seems to only preselect the item in the dropdown.

Iirc, it's basically two people, the owner and an employee, and the owner does most things himself, from assembling servers to setting up accounts. Provisioning in particular he admits is currently rather suboptimal. I've had a good experience overall, though.
