Crucial are having a 40% EOFY sale(First invoice only). There is a money back guarantee if you cancel within 10-30 days (depending on the service).
They are a good quality web / VPS hoster. The data center is in Sydney. I was fiddling around with rebuilding the OS and they actually gave me a call to check if I was ok.
If you buy the 2 year option, it'll be $4.475 per month for a 1GB Linux VPS server.
Here's the benchmark of one that I purchased…
