Yet another change of hosting to evaluate some VPS options. As a consequence, this site will now load much slower for those on our side of the pond (Europe/Russia) and much faster in the States.
This as a result of either overpriced (Netherlands) or incompetent (Germany) european VPS offerings. BTW, the prices seem ever more absurd knowing that European bandwidth is much cheaper (but the crucial balance on the RAM front is just not there).

Is there any low level VPS options priced less than 15$/month?
Only thing I've found is http://keyweb.ru (and firstvps.ru, that's quite unstable).

None that I am aware of, and if yes they would either pushing the envelope wrt bad support or overselling, or both. But euro hosts charging upwards of 75 euros a month for miserable small RAM is no option at all.

We've used New Zealand-based company Rimuhosting for VPN - their London servers might do the trick, and they're pretty cheap (about 16 UKP per month). They'll install whatever RAM you need and they're really knowledgeable and helpful.
If you go ahead, be kind and quote 'Dave Everitt, Eco Consulting' and I get a tiny bit off my next renewal :-)

Thanks Dave! For now I am happy with my Railsplayground account as I've never been before - very stable and fast.
