I'm doing marketing research about the topic.
Which companies are well-known and give good price?

Jokes again?
You can officially ask about Humorist tag
Unfortunately, the requirements for humorist tag are alot more strict than a providers tag. Anyways it's a moot point as I consistently fail Part A : "Be funny".
without checking to confirmthese are all openstack ... all are low price and high quality hourly-billed lowend cloud-providing badasses:EDIT2:
OpenStack confirmed. Also might check DigitalOcean and DreamHost for more options at a slightly higher price-point
As @uptime reports, there's IntoVPS and RamNode, similar pricing for alternative specs.
IntoVPS 2GB RAM, 20GB SSD - $5
RamNode 1GB RAM, 25GB SSD - $5
For your research, finish the question. Give a good price for what?
And just to note various recent deals on LET (promotional pricing?) have also yielded a $3/m price point for 512 mb ram kvm from intoVPS and RamNode - and a standard $3.50/m offer from Lunanode.
All of these providers offer houtly billing.
Lunanode is also notable for providing some additional cloudiness such as HA-proxy instances for load balancing, monitoring, also DNS and email. (I have yet to compare notes regarding possible availability of any similar "next-level" features from intoVPS and RamNode...)
What's the difference between "openstack" and "cloud"?
"cloud" is a marketing buzzword with various definitions, generally invoking some concept of (potential) redundancy and on-demand scalability - primarily of the horizontal but possibly also of the vertical persuasion.
OpenStack is an open source implementation flavor thereof.
