Because if you know your unix and you have the time and experience to quickly setup the stack you need there's no need for a pretty control panel. If I only need ONE VM for something I know it's trivial to setup for me and will probably very seldom require me to use a admin console, I'd always go with pgrmr. There are situations though, where going with a bigger and shinier provider might make sense, but most of the time pgrmr is mighty fine for a beginning hobby business.
