I've finally moved off from my shared hosting provider to a VPS. I'm using Slicehost and couldn't be happier. I'm paying $20 a month for VPS with 256MB and 10GB of storage. I do miss some of what cPanel had to offer, but I'm learning how to do the same sorts of things as what cPanel does for you.

Features which I've setup
Feature Shared Ubuntu VPS !
Apache2 / Php Yes, but only a very restrictive Php was allowed to run Latest Apache, full Php
MySQL Yes - limited to 20 databases Had to modify MySQL to run with less memory
Awstats Works well http://www.theeggeadventure.com/awstats/awstats.pl it took a bit to get setup, but it's working now. I had to install cronlog, as well as schedule the update to run
mailman installed It'll be quite a bit of work to get mailman installed for just a couple of mailing lists
