I've got 2 UML machines around the place. one on tektonic.net and one on redwoodvirtual.com.
TekTonic are the better of those two, I seem to get more available CPU. Ping time is a bit of an issue, but once connected the speed is good. Support is reasonable but nothing special. I use redwoodvirtual for my personal server. I'm on the $10/mo plan which gives me 20Gb/mo bandwidth. It's far from quick (CPU), but reliable enough (current uptime is 143 days) and capable of running apache/postfix/spamassassin/bind as long as the load isn't high. Download speed is enough to saturate my connections. Support on redwood is pretty ordinary - email them and they get back a few days later. If you're considering UML, check out www.usermodelinux.org. Click the 'Commercial' link on the right hand side of the page to get a list of a few UML providers around the place. My general experience with UML has been great. Just don't expect to run anything diskspace or memory intensive as it quickly gets expensive. Cheers, -Piers.
