In my experience, I would highly recommend Digital Ocean. Their experience is boiled down to what matters to dev's: simplicity and speed in setup. You can get started with a Droplet (what they call a dedicated virtual) for as low as 5$ a month for 512mb ram.

Go check them out and let us know what you think!

Yep, DO is a contender. I like the "hands-on" aspect of their interface - a lot of control, but a little squirrely on the interface. Still, they're growing fast and clearly appeal to a lot of devs.

Thanks!
