Linode was also one of my original choice,

I may be too stubborn and focalized on this
provider :D
Yes. ;-)

server hosting to recommend ?
We've been using Linode - they've been great. They also
have some great scripts that you can use to provision your
hardware.

Agreed. I can't recommend
linode.com highly enough.
Their support is amazing, and I doubt you'll find a negative review
from anyone in the OSS community.
You don't get cpanel with fantastico, et al (but you can install them
yourself) - and a 4Gb RAM / 128Gb HDD server, + 1.6Tb trf is only
$160 p/m. You can add automated backup facilities to that for an extra
fee, or just make snapshot backups in a separate partition.
You can't compare dedicated servers to VPS, though you do get stock 4
processor Xen instances on
linode.com, along with shared, mirrored, drives. I
had a look at OVH, and they do look really impressive - but at the
price I have to seriously wonder how they manage those
specs.
