There are dozens of companies provding debian vps, and if I tell you that I have been a customer of all of them that would be a lie.

A2hosting – Low Price = Poor Quality ?
A2hosting offers $8.97/month VPS hosting plan, no set fee, the promotion ends on the 31st of Dec.
The cPanel installation assistance service is reasonally priced, it costs $50 one time fee, as many other vps hosting companies would ask you sign up for their managed service which is usually more expensive.
30 Day money back guarantee, it is neccessery to know what the refund policy is before sigining up with any hosting companies, for a2hosting, only the month fee is refunable, one time fees such, ssl, cpanel set up assistance will not be refunded. Payment made by cheques and dedicated servers will not be refunded either.

Software
Many Linux based OS to choose from,to name a few, Gentoo, Debian, Centos etc
2 virtualization systems, xen & openvz, in case you don't know the difference is, xen allows you to have multiple OS/operating system installation, as OpenVZ has 4 times less CPU consumption, less overhead, and more stable. They all have their advantages but if you only need vps for standard websites, then OpenVZ is the choice.
A2hosting offers 2 cPanel templates for vps customers, standard and advanced. basically advanced template is the same as the one in shared hosting, this is great for any one who is new to vps and would like to use cPanel.
Customers Service

Don’t get fooled by anhosting coupon
Many sites are offering 25% off anhosting coupon code, in fact, anhosting does not provide coupons, the 25% off is their current promotion, so with or without, you will get a nice 25% discount. If you don't believe me Click Here to see for yourself, below is the anhosting review
Intruduction to Anhositng
Anhosting is located in Spring Creek Parkway Providence, UT and is a sister site of midphase, vps.net, uk2, and a few more. They only offer shared hosting plans suitable for standard websites, and host more blogs then many other hosting providers.
Features
Mysql 5 database, php 5, and fantastico are all included in the hosting package, that means you can create wordpress blog, joomla, drupal, with 2 or 3 clicks using fantastico, MySQL allows to set up new databases easily. Php 5 is required by many applications such wordpress plugins.
Price
$5.21/month is a pretty standard price, their sister site midphase offers $2.95/month packages. One thing I suggest you to do though is to ask them what is the price for second year, as with many hosting companies the price is way higher than the first year.
Conclusion
Even though Anhosting coupon isn't available, you will still get a nice discount, also they offer reasonably priced packages and good customer support. Their hosting plans are more than enough to get you started, once your site gets bigger, it will be the time to think about switching to vps or dedicated, I think it is good to start with anhosting or Midphase, because if you want to change to vps, you will probably get nice discount from their sister sites that offer vps hosting plans such as vps.net.
