I haven't had any downtime that I was aware of in the past year. I have my 'own' un-managed VPS running centos linux; maintenance is as easy as running 'yum update'. I have a mail server, two wordpress websites using the LAMP stack, trac, subversion, several personal projects, several customer or staging/testing websites, and I don't have to share an IP address with anyone else -- for $25/mo.

If I wind up leaving DH WebFaction will be at the top of my list. @Matt – Thanks for the recommendation. If I wind up leaving DH WebFaction will be at the top of my list.

I don't think they do Windows hosting, but for Wordpress that doesn't matter. And if you're doing any kind of LAMP development they are hands-down the place to host. Hard to explain in a short comment but developer-friendly would be an insulting understatement. I’ve been using WebFaction for the better part of this year and they are outstanding.

They advertise ridiculous bandwidth/disk space for the price and the way they provide it is by recycling or killing apps during peak hours. My rails-based blog app was killed constantly by their scripts. I moved on to another host long ago. I suggest you to do the same :) Dreamhost is notorious for doing this.
