[Catalyst] Web hosting?

[Dustin Suchter]

I use Media Temple. I think you can get Cat to run on their Grid
service, but I've never actually tried. I pay the $50/mo for a base
level dedicated-virtual host. By default those hosts come with a
Plesk install, but you can easily (free) request a "plain vanilla
linux" host that runs normal old Centos 4.

Amazing service, excellent upgrade paths, fair pricing, and no
downtime to be heard of (on the dv product, which I can speak for).

I do run 2 small Cat apps there, but these guys are just good
hosting in general in my opinion.
