Yeah, I don't know what your budget is, but I personally use
johncompanies.com for their Linux VPS (virtual private server). Tell
them you contribute to open source projects (namely, D), and you'll get
a discount. Because it's not an actual physical server, but a virtual
server running on shared server clusters, it has pretty good bandwidth /
disk space for the price, with triple T3 redundant 'Net connection (i.e.
minimal downtime), and you get root access and can configure everything
to your heart's content. Tech support is also excellent; you get direct
access to the admins maintaining the servers, no nonsense with bouncing
around poorly-trained question card readers. They're quite willing to
hand-hold paying customers through the process of setting things up, and
you can ask them to do periodic backups of important files/directories.
Highly recommended if your budget allows.
