Keep in mind if you are a current EC2 customer and are excited about a cheaper VPS in your region, the VPSs are only available in Virginia. I was pretty excited about a cheaper VPS I could provision in the Sydney area, but these are restricted to a single datacenter.

Thanks for pointing that out. Seems like a weird decision given that they have the underlying product in many regions.

Damn! I got excited at the prospects of cheap VPSes in Sydney :(

What about Vultr?

Also Binary Lane (except bandwidth allowances are much smaller).

How is Vultr compared to EC2? Latency is my biggest concern since I do all of my dev work over ssh typically.
