I was reading about NewsHutch, yet another web-based RSS aggregator. Although it looks nice.

Anyhow, their blog post about looking for a new services yielded some suggestions on hosting plans. You can skim through the comments and see.

I’ve personally worked with Hostway and Rackspace in terms of hosting. Rackspace is expensive but has IMO great support and service. Hostway has a decent array of plans but I’ve had issues with their responsiveness.

Railsmachine seems interesting for RoR shops. SuperbServers seems like it has great prices (2gb Conroe with RAID for $200/mo) — the question would be how good their service is. I guess at those prices maybe you just buy two web servers & load balance them. There were also a few kudos for ThePlanet, whose prices also seemed decent. 

If you’re in the market for a dedicated server, I would highly suggest getting a RAID setup.
