[consulting] VPS? [was D7 side effects on the Development list]

[jeff at ayendesigns.com]

I am strongly considering it. I'm looking now at the plethora of 
offerings. I don't need the panel (if it's Debian). But, for example, 
I'm looking at one that specializes specifically in Drupal hosting. 
However, the plan that is about the same price has all the this-and-that 
one needs, but 3 mysql databases. I'm running about 20 :(
