Prgmr.com has been around offering Linux and NetBSD Xen VPS for a while but last time I checked they had temporarily suspended new sign ups. Good news is — they are back! You can now sign up to their Xen VPS offerings, including their low-end $5/month VPS in Herakles DC in Sacramento.
- 64MB memory
10GB5GB storage- 20GB monthly transfer
- Debian 3/4, Ubuntu 7.04, CentOS 4/5, FedoraCore, Slackware, NetBSD
Currently they are offering a time limited special — first month is free, because “prgmr.com is still something of a mess”.
Update: Prgmr.com is now offering 5GB instead of 10GB of storage because of mirroring. Doing RAID 1 is a Good ThingTM — you get 2x the read speed, but most importantly, a failed drive does not take hours (or days!) of downtime.

I’ve been using prgmr for about 3 weeks now and am impressed with the service, please note he has changed the plans around again.
Also one other thing, it is now hosted at HE.net in

The first month free deal is over… and I’ve reduced disk and transfer further. However, for $6/month, you can get 128M ram and 3GB disk, which I believe is a much better deal, even with the reduced disk and transfer. 128M is a lot more ram than 64M.
Yes, at the moment, I’ll only install CentOS5 or Debian4. I do use PyGRUB so if you want to muck with it, you can install something else. In fact, in the PyGrub menu for the Debian image, I have a NetBSD-CURRENT netinstall kernel.
