Two resources I often use when looking for a VPS are the following.

* LowEndBox.com

* ServerBear.com

Both of those are great resources. The LEB community has a pretty solid userbase which reports back in the comment sections leaving feedback on performance and support from the company being written about, and there are also a lot of specials made for LEB users for a reduced price and/or free upgrades.

ServerBear is more of a data driven site, and can quickly give you results based on your requirements and rank one VPS against others for comparison. Very nice.

Personally speaking, I've had great service from the below providers. Almost all of my VPS are from BuyVM.net these days though.

* BuyVM

* SimpleNode

* Prometeus

* RamNode

LowEndSpirit is a SUPER cheap option, but you're limited in what you can run because of the low RAM available on their plans. It would be more than suitable to run a VPN through for example, but I wouldn't rely on it to reliably service any moderate traffic site.

Regardless of who you end up choosing, be sure to do the research into the company beforehand and also check out LEB/ServerBear and various coupon sites to see if there are promos going on which can score you some discount or free upgrade options.

Oh, also. Certain providers run out of stock (because they don't like to oversell and cause performance degradation in doing so -- mainly an issue with OpenVZ), and LowEndStock is a good place to monitor some of the popular providers which are in high demand.
