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."

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
