I was having this debate with my current host. They're moving me to a new machine that'll be setup as a VPS with 30gb of space, 384mb of ram (???grr!) w/ Ensim, 85gb of transfer for $140 a month! That blows IMO.
Comparing to rackshack I could have a dedicated p4 with 80gb space, 512 of ram, 700gb transfer, w/ ensim for $150 a month. Obviously my current host's argument was that rackshack bases their business on numbers. their servers are unmanaged, and their solution to everything is 'format and reload'. The problem is I don't know linux well enough to get something from rackshack and know how to setup and run everything..  So I'm stuck paying the high prices.

RackShack Forums are a great help, and everyone there helps people in need...
I am sure you could find help, or someone who would set it up for a low cost  Satan

hmm well ive been with rs for a while now, weve had 2 attempts at hacking, one changed our ssh access pwords and rs didnt just format and re-install they went hunting thru the server and fixed the prob.
Ive got nothing but good things to say about them, and asde from a few teething probs at the start ive had nothing but uptime and great support from them

Make sure you secure it properly.
Do the following: 1. Install a firewall - apf with dshield and antidos is best 2. Disable telnet 3. Use only ssh2 4. Use on sftp (not ftp) 5. Disable direct root login 6. Use a separate IP and port for ssh 7. Install and run chkrootkit daily 8. Update and run the latest kernel and patches Do the above and you should have a safe box.
