You'll probably still get periods when your service is slower than other times, because you're sharing the network either way. Anyway, I recommend Softlayer. A bit more expensive than Linode but at least you aren't sharing the server with other virtualized users. And besides, if your business isn't worth $200/mo in fixed costs for this important part of your infrastructure, why bother investing your valuable time anyway?
