Thank you and Dana for the info. I thought it sounds too good to be
true. I'm planning to deploy my own application, so true root access is
indispensable. Another thing I worry about is the provider charging for
CPU utilization. That's something that's impossible to estimate ahead
of time.

The deals at jvds.com look pretty good. The 15% discount for open
source development is nice.
