I use and recommend Amazon EC2. It's not cheap, but it's awesome.

EC2 is different from most hosts, and forces you to have a cleaner  
deployment setup. For example, there's no persistent storage in a  
standard instance?when it's powered off, it's gone. You can attach  
persistent storage though (Amazon EBS), which functions as a normal  
Unix block device. This is a good fit for e.g. your apps' user  
accounts and your database.

EC2 also has some unique advantages, like having unmetered traffic to  
and from S3.
