Depending on what you are looking for a VPS may be around the same 
price. I have heard good things about linode.com. They seem to be fairly 
cheap as well (considering that many website hosting plans are around 
the same price). Frankly for what you get on their cheapest plan 
combined with the capabilites of Linux VPS I very tempted to get one and 
I don't even really have a use for it :-)
