Yes. ;-)

Agreed. I can't recommend linode.com highly enough.

Their support is amazing, and I doubt you'll find a negative review  
from anyone in the OSS community.

You don't get cpanel with fantastico, et al (but you can install them  
yourself) - and a 4Gb RAM / 128Gb HDD server, + 1.6Tb trf is only $160  
p/m. You can add automated backup facilities to that for an extra fee,  
or just make snapshot backups in a separate partition.

You can't compare dedicated servers to VPS, though you do get stock 4  
processor Xen instances on linode.com, along with shared, mirrored,  
drives. I had a look at OVH, and they do look  really impressive - but  
at the price I have to seriously wonder how they manage those specs.
