I would love it if you could provide a link to your cheaper for more service providers. I've not found anything comparable for less $. Also, if you're comparing lock-in prices, compare them against the EC2 reserved instance prices.

They look great. Too bad they're in Germany :(

Interesting pricing breakdown (reminds me of Heroku), however they seem to be more expensive than Linode and definitely more than EC2.

They're cheaper than both for bandwidth which is what I care about most.

serverbeach has dual quad-core servers with 6-48 gigs of RAM for relatively reasonable prices, month to month.

I used to use serverbeach. They are definitely not cheaper if you compare RAM to RAM (just under 2x the cost of EC2 reserved), but of course they're dedicated not VPS, which is a better offering... not sure how much more their cheapest dedicated boxes are worth in comparison to an ec2 small instance though.
