Hi All,

Dreamhost has their Dreamserver set of offerings too:

All Debian-based, and also can have the awesome normal Dreamhost control 
panel. I have used their shared hosting for some time now, which have 
been (knock on wood) pretty good. I have been thinking about upgrading 
to a dedicated server from them.

They also offer customized add-on support plans which turn an unmanaged 
box into a semi-managed or fully-managed one.

Prices are $150 per month and up (excluding add-on service plans).

I have also considered http://www.johncompanies.com ; they are supposed 
to be good. As Chris (Shifflet) mentioned, they offer steep discounts 
for open source developers. My only concern with johncompanies.com is 
that they don't have much contact information on their site. And I fear 
that they are a (very) small company. That does not have to be a bad 
thing, but small companies can easily go under. On the other hand, 
Dreamhost is not that big either, but I think they host at least 30,000 
domains on their shared servers, and have at least 30 employees. I hear 
that the founder of John Companies, John Kozubik, worked for Yahoo's 
(now discontinued ?) dedicated server offerings.

Best regards,

- Jay
