I was recently researching this,

Cartika.ca - Seem pretty awesome, haven't tried them. Cheap for limited
single-core systems, expensive for moderately powerful systems.  no
ability to import/export VMs, require a ticket to do snapshots and other
advanced features.  They're very helpful when you use their chat.
Cloudnorth.ca - Their contact page was down, so I didn't bother looking
further.  Still seems to be down (a week later), shame I can't contact
them to report it.
vpsville.ca - I used these guys for a small instance.  Quick and easy,
but memory limits are hard.  no virtual memory.  no hassle to shut down
your instance and leave.  I like them, but that memory thing limits
their usefulness.
Openvz.ca - Reputedly offer cheap slices on somewhat overtaxed servers.
Telus - didn't return my phonecalls.  They only seem equipped to deal
with medium business and up.
iWeb  - powerful systems for cheap, but their support is disappointing
to me...  I can't *not* recommend them, but I'm not thrilled with them.
 They're probably the cheapest option for a powerful VPS.


Any additional input on these would be *much* appreciated.
