The User-mode Linux Kernel Home Page
I run a couple of websites and have been using the fantastic WordPress and it is really great.

However, I'm feeling a bit limited with my current hosting provider easyspace They%27re not particularly cheap although you can use php and mysql you only get one db.

Since I set up one of my sites, I've come across User mode linux and see that there are a number of hosting providers that give you effectivly your own linux box with root access to play around in - cool. I'm currently using TekTonic with debian but that was only because it was the only provider I could find and I thought it would be as easy to use as Ubuntu. Unfourtunatly, I'm still trying to get apache to serve up php pages properly. Now I've found another provider, Linode.com that provide a similar deal but have Ubuntu as one of their OS's - might try that over the weekend.

Anyway, if you want to host a website and have got even a little understanding of linux, I'd recomend one of these plans.
