I've been using a Candid Hosting virtual server for the last year because the price was right and there was minimal downtime, but I just switched to
http://realitychecknetwork.com and it truly was a reality check!
I didn't even have a control panel with candid (They were in the process of "implementing" it for months) and with RC EVERYTHING is automated through a powerful control panel... I can already feel my productivity increasing, just knowing that if I want to add a sub-domain I don't have to email tech support... plus the price is incredible and you get free sql/php/setup/etc etc.
One last thing, I signed up for their service at 8pm PST last week, by 9pm PST my account was setup!
Anyway, thanks RealityCheck I look forward to doing business with you guys for a long time.
