This is very timely, I was thinking about signing up with 1 and 1. Can anyone recommend an alternative with similar services and price?

If you're looking to do ecommerce, http://BigCartel.com/ is good. If you need more generalized functionality, including ecommerce, http://Squarespace.com is really nice.

What exactly do you need?

Cheap linux hosting for my php and wordpress projects.

If you want a general VPS:

Digital Ocean, Linode, Rackspace, Amazon EC2, Google Compute Engine

Digital Ocean lets you provision the lowest spec servers of all those, for $5/mo.

edit: if you just want Wordpress, check out https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/ although I've never tried that service. They give you a VPS with various apps pre-installed, e.g., https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/search/results/?page=1&se...

Great, thanks!

Hell, Hostgator can service that need pretty well. Digital Ocean would be cheaper, but you gotta know how to set things up yourself.

I'll check them out, thanks!
