I am looking for some alternatives to what I currently use.
and I am interested in

linux

  VPS that will provide at least a few IPs, even for a cost.
any suggestions?

I would go with cheap little shared hosts, but they turn off most of the features I need, which is xml,fopen,scraping related stuff, etc etc etc etc.

deds also would work, but generally a bit pricey. 20 bucks vs 100 bucks, 20 bucks wins for this if i can get more than 5 IPs on it

tNet

  has the best prices I've seen for an entry level vps.

Perk

yeah, it's an ideal solution if you know what youre doing. The owners will leave you alone unless you ask for help.

I've had equipment with them now for 6, maybe 7 years. They are the juice. Over time I have come to know the family personally and they are as capable as they are kind. In a very unRepublican kind of way, they prefer and provide service instead of chrome and glass offices. Fishing rookies... what kind of capitalism is that?

COMMUNISTS!!!

yes comrade nutballs?
