The transfer is a bit poor on prgmr though. $20 gets you 160GiB vs 200 on Linode. Also overage charges on Linode are pretty cheap (half what they are on slicehost).
Depends if you need ram/disk/transfer though.
The point is Linode has better service, e.g. 24x7 IRC, responsive ticket system, powerful admin interface.
This is true; But good support is a difficult (and thus expensive) problem; I'm providing a alternative where if you are willing to have slower ticket resolution, you get a discount.
Interesting. Lots of disk space and bandwidth, too. Looks like their acceptable use policy is a bit strict and baroque, tough. I'm also guessing the admin interface doesn't give nearly as much control as linode's (no other VPS providers I'm familiar with do).
deleted: not everything is about me. perhaps I ought to pay more attention?
Double check the thread nesting. My statements are regarding fivebean, not prgmr.
