I use bluehost but will be switching to 1and1 soon. Seems to me that bluehost has gone downhill and loading any of my sites on there has become quite slow and annoying.

I user appharbor.com . Pretty good provider for .Net.

Other: BuyVM. Very happy with them, and they're doing free upgrades to SSD in the near future.

OVH

yep! Just got one a week ago, their pricing is cheap, and their servers are great.

Windows Azure

Their discounted pricing has since expired, but Azure has great, stupid-simple UX that a complete novice could figure out

No liquidweb listed????

We chose and have continued to use LiquidWeb because of an hn post 3 years ago. They are have wonderful to work with, very few hiccups.

A couple of beefy servers racked at a local DC, can't beat the price+performance.

wiredtree.com - have used them for over 6 years, best customer service I've ever received hands down.

softlayer.com

Same here. We're on their catalyst program.

DigitalOcean. We moved from Rackspace, we pay half the price and get double the performance. I still miss private networks and additional storage, but everything else is great.

Interesting. Going to check em out.

I'm also a ramnode user, though more for smaller projects.

Rackspace, by virtue of their Slicehost acquisition. And AWS for temporary / experimental environments. EC2 for playing with Hadoop and what-not.

Datashack.net. Hard to pass up a $35 dedicated box with tons of bandwidth.

The staff there is very helpful also and have been responsive to any questions/issues I had.

While that uptime looks good, I don't think that's difficult to achieve on a box doing essentially nothing......

We host our couple of boxes in hetzner.

online.net. Very cheap dedi servers, very happy with them. I have used Linode before, a little pricey, but support was outstanding.

I'm using an EDIS[1] KVM and am quite happy with their small offering (I don't really need a whole lot of disk space). Speed is good, reliability/uptime is good, support is quick and friendly, and they have good locations all over Europe (I'm using the Frankfurt/Germany DC).

EDIS looks very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
