I took a look at Redwood Virtual, and noted their site says they are at full
capacity and need more servers.  I haven't a clue how long that condition
will last, and don't know anything about them.  I _can_ speak for the Open
Hosting project (www.openhosting.com), as I have been a customer of theirs
for a bit over a year I think.

All in all, I have been exceptionally pleased with the services provided by
openhosting.com.  My systems have only required a reboot perhaps once in the
past year, which as I recall was the result of an _other_ VPS on the same
system as mine suffering from a DDoS attack.  In that instance, the issue
was handled by Open Hosting staff before I was aware of any degradation of
service.  I perceive an exceptionally high value in the services provided at
an excellent price.

My $.02,
Dustin
