-Obserivum (ssd)

-Storage/ZNC/Monitoring/Netflix Proxy

-Looking Glass/other HTTP/VPN

RamNode ATL x 1 128

-Looking Glass/Monitoring Node/HTTP/Storage

VPSDime x 1 512

-VestaCP, trying some WP blogs and other random sites

DigitalOcean x 2 512

-Dev node

-spin up an extra every now and then to test a script, like ServerPilot

MyCustomHosting x 1 4GB

-Win Server 08 R2 RDP

- Will possibly become a proxmox node

Iperweb 1x 50MB

-Looking Glass/HTTP/Monitoring

LowEndSpirit UK

-VPN/Other IPv6 only stuffz

HighSpeedWeb 1x 128 

-Looking Glass/Netflix proxy

Few dedis. (trying to cut back as these are expensive)

edit > forgot a few, and I'm sure there's even more I forgot.

Oh man, I have about 10 VPS which are almost all idle (one gets regular use as a VPN, a few others get less frequent use,  one is used for storage, and one (Prometeus 128MB KVM) is idle on purpose just so I can admire its uptime (currently 525 days)).  But they are all relatively cheap (3 of them are lowendspirit which is as cheap as it gets) so the total cash outlay isnt too bad. 

I used to run some small web sites, monitoring daemons, git repositories etc. on some of them, but have been too busy in recent times to do anything with that, and most of my heavier stuff has migrated to a dedicated server (2012-version OVH SP1).  I should probably scale back some of the VPS though I like the providers.  And I do like having a few idle VPS and domains around in case I suddenly want to launch something.  This has come in handy on a few occasions.

3 BuyVM 128s for personal stuff, and a 4th that I intended to use for a few small clients I did web dev for on the side. Probably ditching the 4th though since I don't have time for dealing with small clients outside of my job anymore.

I don't use VPS's at all, simply because I do not trust anyone enough with my data; not only that, I do not like the idea of not having control over ring0 :)
@Monkburger and @scv,   you fellows are two of my favorites lately.

I am heading more and more back to dedicated and colo for projects.  VPS market is meh.  Trust is biggie and way too many excuses about performance (often lack thereof).

I dig your collection of small resource servers.   Killer stuff.  Always interested in seeing writeups and info on tiny boxes and how folks manage.
