Pretty much. However, I recently bought a few small and tiny VPSs and installed FreeBSD on some and Debian on others. For identical setups in terms of apps and daemons, FreeBSD is using only roughly 2/3rds the memory of Debian. So there is a cost advantage since the tiny VPS running FreeBSD is cheaper than a small VPS running Debian. But a tiny VPS may not have the reserves to survive a slashdot. Swings and roundabouts.
