I totally forgot about Gandi.net. I remember reading their name from Debconf sponsorship listing. I'll keep their name in mind when the time to renew my hosting plan comes. Regards, @Anonymous

They provide better resources for the price, particularly if you factor in their FOSS developer discounts (ask them about it). One share gets you 5Mbps of *unmetered* bandwidth, 8GB of disk, and 256MB of RAM. All of those go up linearly as you add shares. I don't want to give an exact number for their developer discount, but suffice it to say it beat any such discount I've ever seen from any other merchant, short of "free". And hey, they also do great things like sponsor Debconf. I guess right after you switch providers represents a bad time to suggest alternatives, but have you looked at Gandi.net?
