What do you recommend?
I've tried MediaTemple, Slicehost so far. What do you use and why?

Good question! I don't think this has been discussed yet.

i just got webfaction.com

lots of what, but here' s my What & WHY:
1. MediaTemple - for some clients who need a big name, and./or already have Media Temple.... in my experience, the DV accounts are much better than the grid accounts.
2. WebFaction - for my own work, test server setups, most simpler client work.... for Django, PHP, wordpress,etc... very developer-friendly, able to host multiple domains and sub-domains on one account,... to my mind, the best cheap "shared" host where SOMEBODY ELSE does the system admin
3. Linode - you do your own system admin, but great and scalable... we used them for a few projects in the past, and you get more RAM for django rails,etc
4. RackSpace - for when you have a big budget client who wants all sorts of confidence and able to phone call the host... they charge $$ but they are there.... I believe slicehost is their "no frills" version for virtual hosting....

Somebody recommended dreamhost here and I tried it out and I must say it is pretty awesome, though there were a few downtime scares in the last month. Anybody else get that?

- Bad reliability but for some reason I still like them,nikdaum

what do you want it for? something simple, but good? -> Webfaction. otherwise listen to the other more fancy stuff people post like linode and so forth.

Yes, I have used DH for years. The last week has been terrible, no sites all week. I threatened them with legal action and it worked perfectly within an hour. They do have down time sometimes but no worse than anyone else. Its all unlimited too once you sign up which is good.

so dreamhost has been awful for a couple weeks now and they're now saying that it's my fault my site is slow (with minimal traffic on a wordpress blog, i hardly think that).
anyway i'm making the move - is the general consensus here webfaction would be the alternate that's just as good for the cost?

I like MediaTemple, their support has yet to disappoint. I run Wordpress, and their staff knows alot about it.
