I use highspeedweb.net 128mb $10/yr LA from @mitgib as my NS server, and I would like to recommend it.

That's it. Communication is everything. Granted, having a provider that promises 99% and delivers 50% is not a good provider in our book. The provider would have to jump through some major hoops to restore trust.
True words. Shit happens but it matters if they want to clean up or if they do not care.

Hudson Valley Host changed ownership a while ago (I don't remember the circumstances) so you might want to update.

Lowendspirit NL is out of stock, maybe permanently ( http://forum.lowendspirit.com/viewtopic.php?id=442 ), but the UK location has a few available and Italy has plenty.
I think the NL ones will be available as people fail to renew them. The other day there was one NL available and I managed to snatch it up. Glad that I did!

I doubt that it would be safe to put any production material over a VPS that cheap
It's the same risk as the rest of them. It's very easy to maintain 100% uptime on VPSs that costs less than $1/month. If you're hosting mission critical data on a single VPS then you're doing it wrong.

I can't speak for other hosts, but I just ran a report of our nodes and our sub-$20/year clients are enjoying over 99% uptime for every month last year except last January when it fell to 98% for 2 nodes.

I just want to post an update to this thread, as of this morning we will no longer be offer 32MB and 96MB VPSs and instead have set our 64MB plans to $9.99/year (quarterly and semi-annual pricing remains the same) and have increased the bandwidth to 250GB from the 100GB we previously offered.

All clients with 96MB plans are not impacted, we are just not selling them anymore.

All plans that had 100GB of bandwidth (both 32MB and 64MB) have been upgraded to 250GB already.

All 64MB plans that were paying more than $9.99 per year and had 250GB or less bandwidth have been updated to reflect the new pricing.

We will manually be upgrading all 32MB plans than have 250GB or less bandwidth and paying $9.99 per year to the new 64MB plans, this will take us a long time since it's a very lengthy manual process for a lot of VPSs so please be patient.

I'll be putting out an announcement tonight along with a mass e-mail to the clients impacted but for now, I'm heading to bed before my alarm rings in 4 hours.

Updated the links and added the two new locations.
