People can twitter you @mattfreedman for tips on how to do that?

Or be hardcore and compile the software from source. :)

Cool. So you basically get a clean install of whichever flavour of linux you choose, and install whatever services you want/need via apt or whatever package manager that distro uses.

Awesome stuff.

Chris,

The rate should stay the same but the buy the first month get the second month will not continue.

We do not limit any domains, emails or hosting features.

The VPS comes with SSH and you can install Apache, php, mysql and exim if you wish.

This looks like a freakin’ awesome package. Will the price stay at $19.95/month? Or is that an “introductory” rate, as they say?

Looks like the perfect solution for someone wanting to put together a site with something like django, but can’t install it on a shared host because you need root access to do it. And it looks like you could host a very high traffic site with it to boot.

It’s probably WAY more than I’d ever need for my own little blog site, but seems like a good investment for hosting web apps or something high traffic.

Are there any kind of limits on things like add-on domains/parked domains/email/etc? Or would it only be as limited as you set yourself up to be? Basically, does the VPS come with basic things like Apache/php/sql/mail configured? Or do you basically get an OS with SSH access and do your own package installation and configuration?
