Webfaction (http://www.webfaction.com http://www.webfaction.com) is a pretty good hosting company. They're developer-focused as you can pretty much use whatever stack you want (and if it's not on their list there's probably a way to get it to work anyways, they'll work with you). They have great service and, at least in my opinion, are one of the most hacker-friendly hosting companies out there (at least for personal use).
