I have the standard 64MB/3GB vm, base level, but because I have two real
machines hosted elsewhere. It's running Apache with PHP & Zend APC &
mod_perl, MySQL, uw-IMAP & POP3 and exim-tls.

They also give a certain amount of backup space that you can access via
rsync or nfs. I'm guessing they'll be miffed if you choose to use it as
general purpose file space :)

They also have the option of paying £15 initially and being able to
cancel within the first three months.
