Yeah, it's a development server. I've got a cheap VPS (€4/mo with 512MB of memory) and I usually run the code I'm developing there.

My reasons: I don't have to pollute my laptop with various (sometimes mutually exclusive) servers - virtualenv &co are great, but can only go so far, and VMs are much harder on the battery; trivial for other people (colleagues, clients) to see WIP, even if my laptop is suspended.

You should give Emacs and Tramp some consideration. Failing that, Fuse works well.
Which provider is that ?

Awesome. Will try it. Cheaper than linode. Curious how they perform.
