[Foss-cafe] Comparing housings/hostings/VPS

Recently we purchased a dedicated computer with two ips to install our servers 
to find out latter that the whole net was blacklisted as spammers and that 
our providers didn't care about it (in fact, they seem to encourage 
spamming), if someone is interested: serverpronto.com.
They were very cheap, I still didn't find any cheaper housing/hosting. But I 
don't like being blacklisted and I don't like giving money to spammers or 
spammers helpers.
So, I started looking for alternatives and I've found out about VPS, Virtual 
Private Server which is, running a linux inside another linux or something 
like that (for more information, google).
Searching and searching I reached this page: 
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/uses.html which has a list of ISPs 
that provides you your own virtual server, so, it is like you have your own 
hardware, but you run in a virtual hardware, so, it is cheaper.
But now I have the problem of comparing all those listed services (and 
include, in the comparition, other that sells real hardware).
I was recomended http://www.linode.com/ because it has a nice control pannel, 
it is not listed as spammers (and the owner is against spam) and so on... but 
as you add features to compare it becomes harder, so, does anybody have a 
recomendation ?
Thanks.
