I will recommend Linode, for me it has been working great, no downtimes, good support ,etc.

I also having a good experience with GoDaddy, but it seems that I am an exception and not the rule, since everyone complains about it.

Good luck!

There's an excellent comparison of all the big virtual server services, with Linode recommended as a clear winner on almost all of the benchmarks (as always, YMMV).

The one thing I really dislike about Linode is they don't offer automated backups.

I don't have any experience with them as a customer.
