Adding to some of the other responses ...
It depends if you want a dedicated machine with root access on a rack,
colocate your own, or be virtually hosted.
As for having a dedicated machine, I've been using
888.net/Triple8.net for over eight years. I had used three other
providers prior to this over a period of four years, being
dissatisfied either by price or expectations of service. I hope the
longevity of the association attests to my satisfaction.
While I'm not a hyper-geek, remote access requires that you have
solid, basic sysadmin chops and another fedora-list member's advice
to keep a local box for testing is seconded by me. I've had a enough
white-knuckled experiences on the live machine, paying for it with
some proverbial skin. But 95% of the problems that I have encountered
were my responsibility, not 888.net's.
Thanks.
fyi,

I think you operate at a level above what I will, but I appreciate your
insight. It gives me a point of reference. I like the white-knuckled
reference. Have had some of those myself. :-)
Obviously, security holes fall in this category. Other things include
mega-spam bots and how to deal with them. In this realm, I've had to build
some of my own fixes, including a combination of the
http://cbl.abuseat.org/, a little postgresql database, and some Perl to
(re)generate an /etc/hosts.deny file that blocks current offensive IPs.
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night [nor spam] stays these
couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.
