Small Xen VPS provider?
With all of the extremely low VPS prices these days I'm in search for a small Xen VPS and hope somebody might know of one.
Any providers out there that sell 64-128MB Xen VPSs for ~$4/month? Bandwidth and disk space are not a big deal (maybe 1GB of traffic a month max and no more than 1GB of disk space if an Arch Linux template is available). Oh, and the data center must be located in the US (preferably anywhere except LimestoneNetwork's data center but not a deal breaker).
I will only be running SSH, DenyHosts, and a custom shell script that will write to a remote database.-Joe @ Secure Dragon LLC.

I visit there daily and grab up a lot of their deals there. I see a lot of 256-512MB Xen VPSs for $5-$6 but that's overkill for me and I'm hoping to save a few bucks by dropping down to what I need.
Exactly what I'm looking for! But this is what I'm seeing:

Having severs with customer data on it without proper monitoring is like having one night stand without using protections - eventually, there will be an 'oh s**t!' moment.

Well now it seems all of my OpenVZ VPSs are dead for the next 8+ hours so I've got nothing but time on my hands to start contacting hosts.

$5-6 is overkill, but $4 is fine? What does the extra $2 get you
At a certain point, the price charged is less about the resources you're using and more about the overhead of having yet another customer / account to service.IOFLOOD.com -- We Love Servers

Well it looked bad at first (2 rejections and 1 "we'll get back to you") but I did get a reply from LoveVPS and they've created a custom 128MB Xen VPS plan for me that suits my needs perfectly.

Cost isn't an issue, in fact, I am paying a lot more than the clients paying the normal price. I completely understand the cost per client isn't about resources but luckily, I consider myself an "easy client" when it comes to support (compared to the clients I've had at least).
The whole point of getting smaller VPSs for as cheap as possible is so I can buy a bunch of them once my project is ready to go live. Four 128MB VPSs is much better than one 512MB VPS for my project. Assuming I'm paying $3 for each 128MB VPS (if somebody can offer me this kind of pricing that would be killer ) and the normal cost of a 512MB VPS is $7, then I'd be paying $12 for every 512MB of RAM versus the normal $7.
Make sense?-Joe @ Secure Dragon LLC.

You're completely right, some hosts made it hard to contact them without signing up for an account but others made it simple (almost like they wanted to make a sale ). It was much easier than shopping around also (although my options were limited to the only one that accepted my request but it's all good).

Was in the same shoe as you a while ago, ended up found up2vps provides a custom plan and I think Inception is offering a micro plan as well if you do not mind NL (EU) for now. Both should fit your budget. OR if you want to raise your budget a little, Quickweb have a decent micro Xen plan as well.

Up2VPS looks nice but they are out of stock on all of the Xen VPS plans I was interested in. I might consider an EU host later but for now it's best if all my VPSs are in the US. I did look at QuickWeb but I used them in the past and wasn't very happy with them, also their prices are double what I'm willing to spend (plus for $10/mont I would stick with GigeNET's cloud).

Hmm interesting 64mb VPS servers! hehe and I thought 96 was taking it to far but was surprised to see so many orders when the 96 and 128 range were launched
I am probably safe to say this as the OP has clearly stated he wants USA which we do not offer but if someone were to ask us for a 64mb Xen VPS with 1GB of space for $4 it would be quite possible so I am sure many others would too.

Don't under-estimated the power of 64MB.
I did get a reply from another host that offers 2 data centers so that's 2 more VPSs to my arsenal with 3 other possible hosts lined up.-Joe @ Secure Dragon LLC.
