I used them for 2 jail based VPS "Iota" plans for a few months in 2008
before deciding to get dedicated hosting elsewhere. I believe they use
full virtual machines via Xen now instead of jails, so my input on their
system administration is of little use to you. There were a few
kerfuffles, although customer service did seem very responsive. There
was downtime due to a RAID controller failure, and my account was
credited for it. Since system administration is still on you though, so
you might also consider a dedicated server elsewhere if you can push the
budget up to at least $50/mo.
