[clue-tech] VPS desires

[Crawford Rainwater]

Folks:

A few of us at Linux ETC were pondering and asking, what would we want with a VPS (virtual private server) hosting company features wise?  I figured I would post this out to the CLUE community and see what others desire for additional input.  Some thoughts we have are below.

- Hard drive space of 2.5GB, 5GB, 10GB, 20GB, 40GB with ala carte in 2.5GB or 5GB additions.
- Dedicated RAM in 512MB portions (e.g., 512MB, 1GB, 1.5GB, 2GB).
- Dedicated IP per VPS with options to ala carte for more.
- Gentoo, Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, and Fedora templates or base VPS.
- Web UI SSH access.
- Monthly, quarterly, 6-month, and annual billing with the multiple months discounted.
- Self managed for the most part (i.e., VPS issues within the container, you are on your own).  An option for "dedicated" or "managed" support perhaps.

Thoughts, comments, and questions are welcomed.  For reference I get the CLUE-Talk and CLUE-Tech list in Digest format, so pardon any delays in responses on my end in advance.

TIA.
