Professionally, I'm using Linode - where I want to have my own machine (virtual - yes, but "shared" no). Their plans are the best and most affordable I've found for a true VPS. SliceHost used to be good, but now they are owned by Rackspace. I don't like Rackspace at all. I find Amazon to be too complex - although I never really took it too far. And they're not inexpensive either. For my own personal sites that I've got to get back online, I want something a bit easier to manage than Linode, and I don't want to try self-hosting off my Comcast cable modem again. So, I'm considering getting a shared server again. In this category I used to use PairNetworks a long time ago but I think they're a bit overpriced these days. I'm thinking about setting up an account with http://www.webfaction.com/ I like the fact that they have their status blog online and their docs online too. Their competition includes HostGator and MediaTemple (each of them also does VPS too). I really like to keep things local, and in that vein, I'm considering Beantownhost - run by Matt Shields. http://beantownhost.com/web-hosting/ Excellent price, and an excellent guy.
