Linode VPS are pretty beefy. I was able to host a 24 man tf2 server on it with a 512mb plan + apache for a few small sites.

There are strange rules around this forum about web hosting, and probably this. In my opinion Linode is really expensive, and you can find better deals if you shop around lowendbox.com and search for good feedback. I have a 2gb openvz from ChicagoVPS for $7 a month.

there are definitely better plans than Linode...

but as far as I've seen, Linode provides better support / hardware management than a lot of the other hosts

that saying, I also have a ChicagoVPS 2GB VPS... can't believe how much profit they can get (or the amount of overselling... I'm aiming my VPS only to use 1GB ram max out of the 2GB...)

ChicagoVPS looks interesting, how snappy does the server feel to you guys and can I host more intensive things like hlds?

I really like Linode, their machine fees super snappy and fast. It's like I'm the only one on it, unlike Rackspace vps

I have 3 Linodes right now, absolutely love them.
I've been with them for about 2 years, never had any downtime or performance issues.
