Hi nickb,

Thanks for your response. I was going to get into details, but figured my
requirements are so typical it wouldn't be worth the extra description.

This is for a standard LAMP-based app with a minimum of graphics. I expect
traffic volume to be low for the near future and have no heavy-duty
requirements for video and such.

Basically I'd like to find an economical service that can scale with my user
base.

I don't know if your referring to <http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=64795>

pretty cyclical, but within a month, the data should still be relevant.

Rackspace's offerings start at $400 a month. And they have no prices on their
site, so you have to talk to a'sales associate'... God I hate it when you
can't get a price off a website. Can't believe I wasted two minutes on that.
Learn from my error.
