OVH has approx. $10/mth virtual servers. But it doesn't look like you get root access ?
This is the price range I am looking at. Is there anything else out there ?
I'd like to run debian and be able to install my own packages.

Digital Ocean has $5 USD / month VPSes, and a new Toronto data centre. You definitely get root access, and it's really use to create or adjust VPSes from the web interface with both.
I'll second Blaise's recommendation of Digital Ocean: I use them both for work and for a personal project, and they've been rock-steady for a year now. The recent addition of a Toronto data centre makes them significantly more attractive to Canadian businesses concerned about customer data leaving the country. Although, ironically, Canadian customers still have to pay for their Canadian VPSes in American dollars and deal with the vagaries of the exchange rate. -- Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com
