make sure you are comparing to the KVM prices; OpenVZ is cheaper because allocated ram is... not comparable to allocated ram in xen or kvm.

It is a fair criticism, though; the KVM prices are comparable to Xen prices, and in that department, they have me beat for guests smaller than 1024M.[1] And you are right that it is time for me to increase my ram per dollar (and my transit per dollar) to remain in the niche where I live. I'm working on it, and you can be sure that existing customers will get that upgrade before I offer it to new users.

[1]I price things at a flat fee per customer ($4) then a cost per unit of ram ($1 for every 64M ram) - I find that there are many providers that beat me on the low end but that I beat on the high end. This is in part an artefact of my manual processes, (or rather, an artefact of how manual per-user processes altered my pricing choices.)

I would prefer more disk per dollar though. Besides that I'm a happy customer.

My plan in the upgrade was to offer people a choice between significantly more disk and significantly faster disk, but the way things have been shaping up (we're very slowly upgrading the customers that I re-ip'd) we've only had one or the other available at a time.

Agreed. I am constantly playing package management musical chairs.

Same here. I have found myself using Rackspace Cloud for my newer projects because I get more disk for my $11 and their Ubuntu provisioning is very low effort on my part. KVM offers a bit more control than I need.

I still have a soft spot for my first prgmr box though.
