I'm curious as to what people look for in a low cost VPS. I'm considering setting up a dedicated server using OpenVZ and want to gauge feasibility (not interest - I'm not looking for business here, just ideas!). These would be relatively though not completely unmanaged so you would need to know how to maintain it yourself. Of course there would be backup to restore lockouts and to reboot, and support for major disasters including system restores. The hardware I am looking at is a dual Xeon with 4-8 GB of RAM (depending on the needs of the containers on the server) and mirorred hard drives.
Take the case of a small to medium sized vBulletin forum with maybe a few static sites that you might host. How much disk space/RAM (dedicated and burst)/bandwidth would you be looking for at the $15-20 price point? That would be my target market as I read here about so many people fed up with shared hosting or getting kicked for using too much resources.
