Strugglers can provide Linux virtual machine hosting for cheap, on the understanding that I do this as a hobby.  If you're looking for a more professional setup then you could try [http://bytemark.co.uk/ Bytemark] instead.

Strugglers Xen-based VPS hosting is now known as [http://bitfolk.com/ BitFolk Ltd.]! Please visit [http://bitfolk.com/plans.html the new site].
Strugglers virtual machines run under the [[Wikipedia:Xen|Xen]] virtual machine monitor. Xen is a technology by which an x86 machine can run multiple other virtual x86 machines ("domains") with close-to-native performance. This effectively allows me to provision multiple complete x86 servers running from one real server.

Have a read of the [http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenFaq Xen FAQ] for more info.  Xen is [[Wikipedia:Free software|Free software]].

You will be hosted at [[Wikipedia:Telehouse|Telehouse]] Docklands, a top UK data centre, with 100Mbit connectivity from [http://www.jump.net.uk/ Jump Networks].  Jump operates a [[Wikipedia:Cisco Systems|Cisco]]-based network with direct connectivity to over 40 peers at [http://www.lonap.net/ LoNAP], and one hop access to hundreds of [[Wikipedia:LINX|LINX]] members via the [[Wikipedia:BBC|BBC]].
+
 
+
==SLAs, guarantees, etc.==
+
None!  I do this as a hobby, and I try to keep it running as best as I can.  All my stuff is hosted here too so it's in my interest to have it working.  In event of problem you can [[User:Andy/contact|contact me]] and I'll try to fix it as soon as I can, but there's no promises.
+
 
+
If that won't work for you, you can and should look elsewhere.
