I very much dig Linode[1]. The packages can be a bit tight in terms of<br>
resources, but the support is great. I've been using them for 3 years,<br>
now. About a month ago I had my first "problem" and I didn't even know<br>
about it. The host I was on started having a hardware failure, they<br>
created a support ticket for my account and updated it whilst they<br>
figured out the problem and fixed it. I didn't have to contact them<br>
about the problem; I learned about the problem from the automatic<br>
emails via the support ticket.<br>

Does anyone have any recommendations for VPS hosting providers that:<br>
1. Support OpenSUSE install images<br>
2. Have reasonable prices<br>
3. Do not charge huge fees for data transfer?<br>
<br>
I have been using <a href="http://digitalocean.com" target="_blank">digitalocean.com</a> for a long time. It costs me roughly $5 per month for their base VM. I've been a customer long enough to be grandfathered in with unlimited data transfer. However, they recently dropped OpenSUSE support/removed the OpenSUSE install images. I contacted them about adding them back, and they are not willing to. I will hold onto my account, since the price is so low and they still support Arch.<br>
However, I want to find a place where I can run OpenSUSE in a VPS/cloud setup for a low price.<br>
<br>
Anyone have any recommendations?<br>
