I don't think so since the price is so low anyway, but feel free to
say, "Bill sentcha!".
She's small, but the service is first notch. And these days, I suppose
she is just as stable as the big boys. The gotcha is that these are
vservers; the good news is that I've already figured out all of the
issues and documented them for you
(http://www.newt.com/debian/acornHOWTO/). The main things are you
can't use ping or localhost, and if you run bind, you have to
recompile it, but I'm running apache, tomcat and postfix out of the
box. There is also a 3 GB quota (but you can pay for more).
But by and large, it feels like your Debian system at home and I would
recommend it highly.
