@Rob - Look around the webhostingtalk forum, particularly the VPS offers section - I haven't looked in a while but my expectation would be that you'll find something around the same price but with more resources than the smallest Linode. Remember, too, that a managed service will save you time and headaches, so, figure that into your equation. My point is that $15 to CPanel is dead money, very few end-users buy those licenses direct.
