I've been wanting to set up slash on our [4am-media.com]colo servers anyway- so sure, I'll offer it, too. Lots cheaper, fewer features, (no mod_banner of mod_gzip- yet) and the caveat that I've only set up 2 slash sites in the past year or so. (both for consulting gigs)
We're really cheap because we're basically a group of friends hosting various things (web, hotline, quicktime streaming) for fun- so if you need 24/7 service and an extremely high level of professionalism, look elsewhere- probably to our more pricey friend above.

For the record, I'm currently a one-person shop myself, so I can't always be 24/7 responsive, but I am serious about making customers happy, and from what I've seen, they seem to be.
We're not really out to make too much money. If resources start getting low, we'll quit selling sites until we bring our next server online. None of our prices are really THAT profitable; for instance QuickTime Streaming is VERY resource intensive- more so per client than slash could ever be.
None of us are accountants or businesspeople; we feel it out as things come along. We'll keep this pricing up to n customers, (n to be decided later this weekend over xn beers. At n customers well stop and evaluate lo
