Subject: [ale] VPS hosting recommendations?<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any recommendations for VPS hosting providers that:<br>
1. =A0Support OpenSUSE install images<br>
2. =A0Have reasonable prices<br>
3. =A0Do not charge huge fees for data transfer?<br>
<br>
I have been using <a href=3D"http://digitalocean.com" target=3D"_blank">dig=
italocean.com</a> for a long time. =A0It costs me roughly $5 per month for =
their base VM. =A0I've been a customer long enough to be grandfathered =
in with unlimited data transfer. =A0However, they recently dropped OpenSUSE=
support/removed the OpenSUSE install images. =A0I contacted them about add=
ing them back, and they are not willing to. =A0I 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 set=
up for a low price.<br>
<br>
Anyone have any recommendations?<br>
