Where to rent the best dedicated servers?

Where to rent the best dedicated servers?

["Kyrre Nygård"]

Sorry, I really don't know where else to ask.

I've been using Staminus for a while now and I've had it with the downtime.

Basically I want a place to host my Ruby on Rails / Git projects, an IRC server as well as an internet radio channel.

Simple website / control panel design is ofcourse a plus. None of that cpanel bullshit though, I prefer to meddle around with simple text files the way it's meant to be done.

So, layeredtech.com? rackspace.com?

And is there a place that reviews dedicated server providers?

Thanks,
Kyrre

If asked a couple weeks ago I would have suggested layeredtech, but I'd tend
to discourage it now as I ran into a succession of issues that they took too
many time to fix (ip addresses not routed to my box, almost 72h of downtime)

Actually, if you aren't running a very critical service that you rely on, it
is a pretty good service. It's just that when they fuck up, they fuck up big
time :)

Excellent choice...

But so far it looks like I'll be going for http://www.m5hosting.com.

"Small is the new big", might wanna Google that. Besides, they look so simple!

I recommend MediaTemple (http://www.mediatemple.net).

Great customer service and they communicate any problems or issues via the
blog so you can have it in an RSS feed which is nice.  They also have grid
computing and containers for Ruby on Rails and MySQL instances so once you
out grow your current setup you can have it spread across several machines.
