Finding Decent Unix Server Hosting?

joesao asks: "I've hosted my website and a number of others at Communitech for 4 years now and I've enjoyed affordable, quality Unix hosting that has given me no headaches. Recently they have been bought out and the service has completely deteriorated. The online forums are on fire with people pledging to leave, calling in and taping conversations, and so forth. So now I'm searching for a decent Unix host. My requirements aren't too bad: I need PHP, MySQL, the ability to configure my server somewhat (htpasswd, htaccess), raw log files, SSH, FTP, crontab, decent bandwidth (~10 GB), POP accounts, around 300 MB disk space (I host the bulk of my images/videos elsewhere)... and I wouldn't mind paying what I pay for DSL every month (~$50). That excludes buying a T1 for my house. And I don't mind what flavor of Unix/Linux it runs on, as long as it just works (wouldn't mind XServe, either). I'm having trouble finding credible sites with rankings out there so I ask the Slashdot community for help. Any recommendations?"

I can recommend them too :) For £15 / $26 per month we do a Linux Virtual Machine package based on User-mode Linux: you get 7.5GB bandwidth, 64MB of RAM for your machine and 3GB disc space for you to do what you want with. You get root access to your machine, out-of-band access to do your own reboots, machine reinstalls, bandwidth monitoring and setting up of watchdog services which can send messages to your mobile phone if something goes wrong with your server. We're also one of very few (the only?) ISP which gives back explicitly to the Free Software community: we give donations to Debian for every sign-up from a Debian-branded link to our site, and offer a 10% discount on our already low prices to contributors to Free Software.

Any questions, feel free to ask here or privately :)
