Adding to some of the other responses ...

It depends if you want a dedicated machine with root access on a rack,
colocate your own, or be virtually hosted.

As for having a dedicated machine, I've been using 888.net/Triple8.net for
over eight years. I had used three other providers prior to this over a
period of four years, being dissatisfied either by price or expectations
of service. I hope the longevity of the association attests to my
satisfaction.

While I'm not a hyper-geek, remote access requires that you have solid,
basic sysadmin chops and another fedora-list member's advice to keep a
local box for testing is seconded by me. I've had a enough white-knuckled
experiences on the live machine, paying for it with some proverbial skin.
But 95% of the problems that I have encountered were my responsibility,
not 888.net's.
