asterisk users - Oct 2004 - Cheap hosted servers and Asterisk

Does anyone have any experience with running Asterisk on dedicated 
servers from any of the cheap hosting providers, like 1&1?

I'd like to get my asterisk/mail/web server out of my house.  There 
isn't a whole lot of traffic involved, but I'd rather not end up with 
someplace that *utterly* oversubscribes their bandwidth--it needs to 
work with Asterisk, not just TCP-based services.  I can find a number 
of providers that have listings for $50-$60/month (that's actually a 
net win over my current DSL bill), but I don't have experience with any 
of them.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Haven't had any experience, however if your clients connecting to
Asterisk are setup to properly reinvite (assume you are using sip) then
you shouldn't have large overage charges.

If your using Asterisk in the media path, the potential for overage
charges then increases.
