I recently signed up for a small dedicated server at Kimsufi.co.uk for the grand price of £14 a month which I think is pretty good price for what you get. Brand Intel Model Celeron / Atom Frequency 1.20+ GHz Architecture 64 bits NIC FastEthernet Memory 2 GB Hard disk 1 TB FTP Backup 100 GB Bandwidth Heaps more than I need :-) The machine itself is nothing special but they do have remote management and you can install a variety of Linux and Windows operating systems. I am quite happy with their service and management tools but I wasn't happy with the fact that they run their own custom kernels on them. The kernel that they install is a 'grsec' hardened 3.2 kernel but this caused a variety of issues when doing 'yum update', mainly dependency issues. I Googled around and found a few different solutions on remotely installing CentOS which were all basically variations on the way I describe in a previous post using [grub to re-install](http://www.thegoldfish.org/2009/12/reinstall-centos-using-grub/). Whatever I tried with this including [using VNC](http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showthread.php?t=4991) and attempting a fully automated install with a tested kickstart file it would become unresponsive when rebooting into the OS the first time. Instead of all these methods I should have been thinking inside the box instead of outside it :-(
