For cheaper hosting Linode is offering a VM with 1G of RAM and 24G of storage for $US10 per month. Digital Ocean offers VM for $5 per month with 20G storage. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6983097
Digital Ocean did a good job of burying the above from Google searches.

Also there's the above issue. These are things in the past, but AFAIK Linode hasn't had those problems.

For cheap virtual servers Hetzner has one for E3.90 per month, that is less than the Digital Ocean offering and it has more RAM.
I'm not using this server for anything sensitive at this stage -- just some web programming experiments such as this: http://198.199.72.243/weather-graph/weath.php which you are welcome to use. I may start using the server for remote back up at some stage however. I'm not much of an expert on security, I've seen it stated that so system can ever be 100% secure. I just do what I can and use lots of different passwords. I may try out Hetznet at some stage as they apparently have debian and ubuntu vms. Regards, David
