Yep, following the crowd with the VPS reviews. I'm copying the format of @maxexcloo, hope you don't mind. ;)

So first of all if you haven't got it yet, never mind the name, it's the KVM 640MB RAM package from the company Go-VPS-Go. Put it this way I haven't seen many reviews of Go-VPS-Go and it's only fair that I do one if I have a VPS from 'em. I've been with them for around 3 months, so far so good apart from a few tiny bits which I will mention later. As far as I can see this is the first proper public review, it seems that they aren't too old or too new either, started February if I remember correctly.*

Overview: My particular package is a KVM package as you already know with 640MB RAM, 25GB disk space, 640GB 100Mbps uplink bandwidth, only one core and 1 IPv4 address located in Kansas City. VPS management is done via SolusVM with SSL, although it is a self signed cerificate, thier WHMCS has a verified SSL license though. They have all the normal OS's including FreeBSD however they are all netinstall except FreeBSD and Arch Linux. One thing I did notice about the VNC console is that it was a little more laggy that other providers, or maybe I'm spoilt. IRC is prohibited.

Support: Go-VPS-Go apparently has Chinese support staff members which is a first, although I'm not Chinese. However thier English support is pretty fast and to the point, they mounted custom ISO's within the hour etc. On that note, they provided an FTP account to do so. The welcome email was pretty good, no passwords shown, control panel URL shown and all.

Setup: Basically like any other KVM VPS, nothing really much worth noting other than the VNC connnection via Solus was pretty laggy. SolusVM itself was pretty responsive. As far as I remember there is no automated rDNS control via SolusVM.

The interesting bit: To be honest I'm not a Debian fan so I didn't have it installed, I will install it soon and compare etc. but you'll have to bear with me while I use CentOS :) Yeah, Debian is much lighter than CentOS.

I guess that could be tweaked, this is a straight out of the box installation. 99MB isn't the best but isn't too bad:

[root@dubnium ~]# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           615        272        343          0         69        103
-/+ buffers/cache:         99        516
Swap:         1247          0       1247

Typical size in my opinion:

[root@dubnium ~]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_dubnium-lv_root
                       23G  713M   22G   4% /

/dev/sda1             485M   29M  431M   7% /boot

Only one core. Yup;

Pretty decent allocation but yeah, it can be changed:

[root@dubnium ~]# df -i
