Well that is your opinion. By the same standard Windows would be better than Linux, and Using CentOS would be out of the question. Personally I am not a fan of any of SWsoft's products (Virtuozzo, Plesk, HScomplete).

Back to the OP's inquiry, When you find a provider, VPS or shared, search Google, this and other similar forums for reviews on them. It may help you stay away from some of the unreliable providers out there.
