They are a web hosting provider who seems to specialize in virtual private servers (VPS), in that VPS's are the only plans they offer. The plans are reasonably priced and have high memory and bandwidth allotments. With extra charges you can increase those allotments as far as desired.

Their network connectivity goes directly to the major Internet backbone providers.

They offer what appears to be excellent management facilities. You can easily create new server images, add or delete servers, do operating system installs, set up domain name services (DNS) and more.

They are a web hosting company that specializes in virtual private servers. This means you would receive what looks like an entire server dedicated to your use, but it is really a slice of an existing server. This allows the hosting company to still implant multiple accounts per physical server while giving you full control over your hosting service.

They offer both Windows and Linux based virtual private servers.

They specialize in providing high performance and affordable Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting. They offer a variety of VPS hosting plans to fit any budget or application. Their VPS hosting plans are perfect for hosting Ruby on Rails, Python, PHP, and Java applications. A VPS allows you great flexibility in installing anything you damn well please to have running on your server.

Their plans are reasonably priced. However it appears likely they won't be doing much handholding.

I have been a happy customer of rimuhosting for several years. They specialize in VPS hosting (virtual private servers) and dedicated hosting, using Linux as the operating system, and having especially good support for Java servlet configuration. My service with them has always been reliable, and the response to queries and support requests very good.

They can set up most any Linux distro on a server (or VPS) and have a lot of useful configuration tips and tricks in their support section.

A2 Hosting, Inc. - They offer a comprehensive set of hosting features.

The VPS technology is based on OpenVZ and includes a control panel available to the customer.

Carbon Neutral Web Hosting - They are 'carbon neutral' by virtue of buying carbon credits and partnering with The Carbon Fund - carbonfund.org.

dreamhost.com - Is an almost full service web hosting provider. Their core competency is shared hosting but they do offer a dedicated hosting arrangement, but prevent you from having root access to your "dedicated" server.

They offer what they call a "private server" which offers some dedicated resources but is not quite a VPS.

I use Dreamhost for this site (and a couple others) plus because they offer tremendous data storage limits, my Dreamhost account serves as an offsite backup of my personal files.
