I use Webfaction.<br>

It's not a personal vps but you get ssh access and you can run any<br>
webserver you want-- even a Haskell one:<br>

<br>
They support Postgres databases too.<br>
<br>
It's cheaper than a vps (I'm paying $8.50 a month but you can pay as<br>
little as $5.50), but possibly not as convenient.<br>

My one complaint is that they use FreeBSD instead of Linux; if I found a webhost that let me compile straight from my Arch/Ubuntu box, I'd be very happy. (I'm sure they exist, but now I'm kind of addicted to nearlyfreespeech's cheap pricing...)<br>
<br>Thanks for the suggestion.<br><br>Michael<br></div></div></div>
