GENTOO HOSTING - Suggestions?

Hi all,

Thanks for reading this.

I've been hosting my own website on a broadband connection for two years now and have loved having the chance to do my own sysadmin work. Unfortunately I'll be moving soon to a location that doesn't offer broadband and would like to continue the "do it myself" approach.

What hosting options do you know of that will provide this at an affordable price?

I noticed that http://www.sevenl.net/ has this at about $78 a month. While not bad I'd like to have that lower if possible.

I have my own box but it's a mid-tower case instead of a rackmount case otherwise I'd look for a colo option (most colo options I've found require your server to be rackmountable).

Again, thanks for reading this. All suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you! That looks more along the lines of what I can afford.

From a basic bit of research it seems there is no swap space option and many people are having heavy I/O issues.

If I went with them I'd prob have to choose another distro due to memory requirements (and swap being unavailable).
