I just checked DigitalOcean and their cheapest offering for an 8GB VM will cost you a mammoth $48/month.
Don’t like that price? Shop LowEnd providers! Case in point: Aquatis.
They posted an offer on LowEndTalk where you can get an 8GB VPS (yes, KVM) in Tampa, Florida for only $6/month! This includes 1TB of DDoS (path.net)-protected bandwidth and free daily backups.
Nice price! And you can even get it cheaper.
Aquatis offers a discount if you prepay for months in advance. If you sign up for a year, the price drops to only $$5.64 a month!
Awesome. The thread has full info, including YABS, details on their backup policies, and order links. Check it out!
