Hi, I have a 4GB box at inmotionhosting.com for $229/month.
It sounds like you might be more of a geek than me and so this might not make sense for you. With inmotionhosting.com they will really hold your hand with everything non-Drupal related. And if you choose to *not* have the root password, they take responsibility as well.
As I've learned more, I decided that I did want to have root access because I didn't want to wait around and with knowledge one wants more power! When I got root they warned me that they wouldn't take any responsibility anymore. But they have been just as helpful. I think the warning was that they wanted to cover their butts, and I don't blame them. But I have NEVER gotten from them, "You must have screwed something up because you have root access, sorry, no help."
No host is perfect, but I've been very happy with my dedicated server at inmotionhosting.com.

Hi everybody, I'm currently managing some Drupal sites on a Rackspace cloud and I'm pretty happy with their service. But as my sites are getting bigger and more complex, they use quite some RAM. I still haven't been able to cut down the number of modules but I have implemented different levels of caching to reduce the load.
However, a 4GB instance on Rackspace cloud cost around 160USD/month, at this price, I think it may be time to investigate for a dedicated server. In Europe OVH offer powerfull dedicated server around 80USD/month (http://www.ovh.co.uk/products/dedicated_offers.xml ), but I'd like to find a similar offer in the USA. Which dedicated server provider do you use for what cost and what service ? What would be your recomendation ? And bonus question, is there an easy way to migrate my system configuration to a new host.
Thanks a lot.
Nicolas
