if you aren’t too worried about service, guaranteed up-time and dedicated server you can go cheaper than $20/month (linode.com).
-Most of the cheaper places you may only get email support vs phone support.
-Next, the cheaper places probably have worse redundancy and internet connections so more downtime may occur.
-Linode.com seems to give you a dedicated server instead a shared server. this means your site is the only one on the server. There are some good things about this. If you have a shared server there can be spammers on your server which gets your IP blacklisted. There could be other sites on the server that take up all the resources…so basically it gives you all the control because you are the only one using it. But you also need to know what your doing since you have to set it up from scratch.
