I am not sure if it was mentioned before or not, but my first VPS provider was and still is BalticServers
My first personal vps was the AlienLayer 192MB plan, like several other people here. It was one of the earliest really cheap plans, cheap enough that I could buy it for experimentation without having an actual use for it. I was very happy with it even though it was horribly unreliable by current standards. I got my money's worth ($15/year or so, when everything else cost much more) just from the experience of setting it up and installing some stuff on it and serving a few personal pages.
Before that I used a Rackspace VPS for some work stuff, but it had been purchased and set up by one of my co-workers. IIRC it was $12.50 a month for 512MB ram and 20gb of disk or thereabouts. I thought that was very affordable and figured I'd buy one myself once I had a use for it. Then I watched LEB for a while and got the Alien vps and the addiction started.
