Depending on your level of traffic, do not discount the RackSpace
256MB/10GB @ $10.95 per month

Yes it is very small, but for sites that don't expect a lot of
traffic/intranet then it is ideal. Rackspace make it dead easy to
backup. You can also upgrade your hardware without reinstalling.
hell .. treat yourself ... 512MB/20GB @ $21.90pm! ;)
OpenBDJam works very well on the CentOS5.5 Rackspace base image they
give you.

What would be the smallest vm acceptable for an OpenBDJam vm? 5GB

amount of traffic.
If you don't go out of your way to minimize the Linux install or use a
purpose-built small distro, in terms of disk space stock Ubuntu would
likely fit in 4GB, then you'd have to add to that the OpenBDJam install
plus size of the application code and database.
512MB of RAM would be fine to run things depending on what the
application itself needs, but as a point of comparison Mura runs
decently on OpenBD in 256MB (that's 512MB total with 256MB given to
Tomcat). Just really depends on load and what the app is doing. I run
tons of junk on a VPS with 1GB of RAM and 512 given to Tomcat and it
works fine.
