Where do you get servers for less than $20/month?

We did only need a vserver for a start which are not hard to get at that price. Also I won't recommend my provider as we had horrible downtimes for a while and it's still not that good. So while we pay less than $20 per month, I wouldn't recommend it and the main reason we stay is that we have a 1 year contract.

Ok, that more or less matches what I thought -- that it's possible to get a VPS for less than $20, but not necessarily a very good idea.

I know the question isn't directed at me, but I found a web host that lets you pay according to how much bandwidth you actually use: https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/

The bonus is that they support haskell, scheme, common lisp and ocaml web apps :)

And the downside is that their disk access, from experience, is really slow.
