I think I have finally found happiness with a host. Shared hosting was just not doing it for me as I am not a big PHP user and I really enjoyed having more control over my environment, so last year I jumped the ship to Rimuhosting and got myself a VPS. It is expensive compared to the majority of shared hosting out there, but I get my own Debian environment to myself (I have a plan with 4 GB space, 256 MB guaranteed RAM, and 40 GB transfer). At the price I am paying it almost makes more sense to get cheap dedicated hosting (I pay $30-something) but I am not complaining.
Support has been responsive and helpful the times I needed them. Most recently, I requested them to drop a fresh Debian 4.1 image onto my server. Turnaround time was within 1-2 hours of my ticket request. I had a minor resource issue with my initial setup last year, but that was quickly resolved with an email. They were very helpful when I asked questions prior to deciding to buy hosting from them.
Plus they have a rather useful wiki-type site to help you with common issues and configurations if you need some unguided support.
Still, to get my mod_python/django and postgresql-powered site under way, great. Spoiled me on shared hosting, and I have had very positive experiences with most of the shared hosts I have been with.
I would recommend Rimuhosting if you were in the market for a Linux-based VPS.
