1984 went nuts with pricing so I stopped using them. I'm trying lnvps out. I like them, but I will stop using them if they don't start responding faster to outages. I've stopped recommending them because of that. Yesterday they went down and it took more than 12 hours to come back online. That's unacceptable.
There's other services like alexhost, vpsbg... You can check those out.
They are more expensive, but at least they stay up.
