Super super cheap VPS?

[AF]

Does anybody have a VPS they can recommend? I want something super super cheap, I'm not fussed on disk capacity or it being a super quad core machine with a 100MB connection. The things I'll be doing on it are lightweight small footprint

No personal experience with this one. but, for $15 a year, what is there to lose?

Alcari's used YardVPS before, IIRC. You can ask him if you need more detail.

That $15 ( $9.36 ) looks nifty, though there are complaints of bad uptime/IO on the first google results page

Your data.
Someone I know had its stuff on a very cheep VPS, and the provider didnt pay its bills, so the data center shut it down. Was a big and long hassle to get to the stuff.
---> daily off-site backups and you'll be fine
---> dont expect high availability

heh unfortunately they're 'out of stock' on their Leaf plans ( so no $15 VPS ), and no longer intend to continue them, I had a support person extolling the virtues of Xen over OpenVZ.

As for backup, I have my dreamhost webspace so I'm happy to offload it there on a daily or hourly basis, I'm not planning anything critical at the moment
