Its strange all I seem to hear are bad words about all the hosting providers I've been looking in to hosting with. Is there no one actually doing a decent job? Anyway... :o

Currently with "The Artist formerly known as Hostpro", which has been consumed by Interland. Not too sure about Interland so I'm looking to move quite soon. I am currently on a Virtual Server Account (Freedom 200, $59.99 PM), which isn't too bad. Am looking to move to a dedicated solution with the following:

Linux (Red Hat/FreeBSD) - Apache/Mysql/Perl/PHP/SSL
5Gb Bandwidth (may increase in the next few months)
Processor Celeron 500+ or P3 600+ (Need advice on this)
128-256 RAM (And this...)
5GB Disk Space
2-3 IP Addresses
Control Panel (Decent quick configuration tools)
24/7 Support
Backup/UPS
Decent Uptime (99%)
Reasonable Upgrades (Hardware/Bandwidth)

I have a budget of about $150-$200. Can anyone advise me on any good companies that can provide a decent level of hosting? I've looked at the following companies so far:

Interserver.net
Rackhost.com (Interserver Reseller)
Site5.com
Rackshack.com
Fasthosts.com
Hostrocket.com

Anyone know where there is a comparison chart/ Gartner style top ten for these and other companies in terms of Dedicated Hosting Services.

Thanks. ;)

I think you can look at tophosts.com and hostsearch.com for reviews on each of those. They should also list their products and you should be able to do a side-by-side comparison.

I recommend http://www.venturesonline.com.
And I wouldn't look only after prices.
