I was with http://www.johncompanies.com/jc_vps.html for awhile so I  
could run a modperl app. I liked them very much. I never had a single  
outage in two years (it was low traffic though) and was only asked to  
reboot my stuff once.

Maybe. If you do that don't use DreamHost, I think. If you're paying  
$50+, look at JohnCompanies or some of the ones others have mentioned.

My install on DreamHost is completely custom though, just on a  
regular account; in a local lib. That's part of why I like them  
enough to stay despite some problems. You can do almost anything with  
your account.
