@Kiti, would you mind explaining a bit more tech how you "I offload a lot of my traffic  to CDN's and free/relatively cheap cache servers"?

I have always assumed, wrongly it seems, that CDN = Akamai = Lots of $$

And does pulling jquery + jquery ui from Google count?

This has been my experience so far on linode:

I have been hosting about 5 medium traffic  apache/php /mysql apps for over 3 years now  plus a couple of low traffic html websites as well as  hosting  three  .NETv3.5 web apps( using Mono) on the same platform.  I also have some GIT repos(replacing  SVN repos) as well as syncing my dropbox to the box.  in between have manged to host redmine(ruby on rails) , and SVN.

In terms of bandwith, have rarely exceeded 60% of the quota, but have lots of  read/write operations on the server from background daemons. Naturally, I offload a lot of my traffic  to CDN's and free/relatively cheap cache servers.

I am on the standard linode1024 plan  running debian 6.0

Hi guys,

I am looking for a reliable VPS host - i.e. Virtual Server host. Please recommend any that you have used that is reliable and cost effective for a basic application, meaning its not space/memory/bandwidth intensive. The entry level service will do just fine. 

I have already checked out Safaricom locally would but would like to check out other options.

Thanks,

George
