Ditto'd regarding Linode, with some notes on why we'd hesitate: While we as an enterprise love moving things to Linode, or just generally "out," I don't know if many in your planned market would be okay with someone else setting up their systems. If you're going for bigger group (which will mean larger deploys with far larger payments), make sure you're bonded, can prove security, that you're not running virtualization on top of our systems, etc etc etc. Your primary benefit as I see it is currently convenience, but trust is just as valuable.

I imagine there is a very small market in between the types of server users that have no idea what a kernel is and that it is configurable and the types of users in the 'enterprise' that either already have these automation scripts built themselves, or have strict enough security practices that prevents them from going outside their department for this.
