Ok, the €8.95+VAT is Areaserver <http://www.areaserver.com/index.php>. 
It's a little sketchy looking because they don't specifically state root 
access, so they most likely just mean normal virtual hosting.  Their 
allowance of disk partitioning and reselling threw me off.

The decent looking one though is Jumpline.com <http://jumpline.com/> who 
offer a more precise term "virtual dedicated server".  Their plans start 
at 14.95 a month and you have true control of the machine (root, chroot, 
installation, persistent servers).  I've never used them, so I can only 
go by the web page, but it looks good.

Speedfox <http://speedfox.com/> starts at $34.97 a month if you pay with 
credit card on a 2-year plan, but it's not completely clear how much 
control you really get with their "virtual private server".

Finally, Spry <http://www.spry.com/hosting/virtual-dedicated> offers 
"virtual dedicated server" starting at $39.95, but are different by 
being FreeBSD based as opposed to RedHat.

One worth being critical of is OnSmart 
<http://www.onsmart.net/smartpriv.htm> who, while giving you full 
control, only allocate 64MB of memory to your VPS for $39.95 a month. 
Hmmm, now that I look back at the others they don't mention memory 
allocation... that's something to check into.
