A2B2.com VPS Hosting?
I am in need of a reseller/vps in replacement of my current one with IntegrityHost.com. I came across a2b2.com from these forums and their VPS packages looked good. I am thinking of switching to them but does anyone have reviews or know about them? Thanks!

A quick search here will show that several people have mentioned them over the last several weeks.
I moved from a reseller to a2b2 myself a month ago. I have had no outages, support tickets (the very few I have had) were responded to within minutes.
Pricing is great, Support is better than I got with my reseller.
I cannot comment if they are any better/worse than other VPS providers as I have not used other VPS's - and I have not been given a reason to consider other Providers.
Yes, the company is fairly new, but Rus has been in this game for a fair while.
Do what everyone should do when considering any provider be it shared, VPS or dedicated, and that is to get your shortlist, then send a couple of pre-sales enquires thru to evaluate the responses yourself.

missed the 15 minute edit window... but here is some further relavent info.
Extra info re setup time. (Times Quoted are GMT - which is where a2b2 are located)
From the time I placed my order, to the time the accout was activated was quite Prompt.
Order placed at 07:45 on a Saturday morning, Invoice raised within 2 hours, and I paid within minutes.
Service set up and ready for me to log in at 16:25 the same day - so a total of ~ 9 hours from order to it being available - I was extremly impressed with this response considering it was a weekend.CPanel Shared and Reseller Hosting, OpenVZ VPS Hosting. West Coast (LA) Servers and Nodes

Alright thanks a lot that was helpful. A2B2 sounds good and I will probably go with them once I am ready in a month or so.

We would have to recommend them as well. For a matter of record, webonce.com runs off of our VPS with them, as well as the billing system and a few other maintnance utilities.

They seem to have some good reviews on other sites and not much negative has been said against them. You are bound to find a negative comment though about any host so let the good out weigh the bad.

I have been with a2b2 for 3 months now, and have been very happy with the support/uptime. I have one Windows and one Linux VPS with them and couldn't ask for a better host!

Yah, I'm considering their backup mail and dns package, plus another as a backup space. So it would be nice to hear what they are like after a time.

I've been using there VPS package for a month now and it's been great. At first I wasn't so sure when I requsted ImageMagik to be installed with the package and they said no problem but when I got all the information after 24 hrs it wasn't installed. Not that big a deal as it's easy to be installed but I just wanted to get everything up right away. Also my account limits weren't set properly but they fixed that within 2-3 hrs after a support ticket. I haven't had any need for further support tickets in the passed 3 weeks but the ones I did send got answered right away.

Their owner (Rus I believ?) seems like a good guy, and I can tell you that a host is only as good as its owner

I suggest that you should contact their Sales & support departments with your requirements. This is because, what features you are looking for may not be the one the other person is looking for. So contact them and ask them if they support your needs.
