VPS Suggestions

Anyone recommend a good, inexpensive VPS service? I want to put websites and games on it, preferably Ubuntu Server.

The best combination of low price and high performace in a VPS for hosting tron that I have found is https://www.nfoservers.com/ I have not tried hosting any websites on it, so I can't speak for that. I have avoided doing so because in the past when I have tried mixing the two on a server, I have found that sometimes when the website would be accessed at the same time that a gameserver or two were under heavy load there would be small, but noticable ping jumps simultaneous to the website loading. That was before the VPS's used SSD drives like they do now, so that may not be a concern. However, considering that you can get a basic Linux only (yes Ubuntu) single core VPS with 1GB ram for 7.99/mo, and you can get decent basic web hosting from https://www.hawkhost.com/ which I have just recently just signed up for. The basic hosting is sufficient for most websites, and allows multiple domains, subdomains, and databases. It costs just over $3 per month billed in 3 month increments. Use coupon code HHI-BN02C8K2GT to get a %30 off recuring discount. If I remember correctly, with the discount I am paying $10.95 every 3 months for the hosting, which I am useing to host a number of income producing websites and soon a theserverpharm.net website again.
