Hi suraj,
I would recommend either ServerMatrix or 1and1.
I don't dare to comment much about Managed...

Whilst Managed has had its problem a recent spate of ServerMatrix problems have arose. So I hardly think it's fair to keep casting a shadow on Managed, when all companies have their issues.

I'd shy away from 1&1 due to the fact that you have to pay for a few months at a time, and I'd shy away from Managed.com due to their issues. In terms of prompt support, ServerMatrix seems to be a hit-or-miss situation lately. Some people rave about support, while others hate it. Other than those 3, I'd recommend:
www.OffRack.com (Managed servers, good network)
www.TailoredServers.com (Promo Code WHTCPU - Unmanaged servers, but they have great customer service)
www.tranXactglobal.com (Haven't used them personally, but they have an awesome network, good hardware, and good service)

ServerMatrix has the best network, with the best prices, and they deliver with their SLA. If it isn't 99.9% uptime, you get dollars off of your bill. They also have good support, with their 2 ring policy, and good support ticket times (I have had some as low as 13 minutes). If you are kind of new to the Dedicated Server Scene, I would suggest a reseller - as they offer an additional level of Service and Support.

I second tranXactglobal or GNAX servers in general. Their servers are awesome and are unbeatable.

Gnax is not setting up new servers until April 1st though, they are waiting on their new datacenter, but I recommend them. I have been with managed and was not happy at all.

To the original post, I would recommend SM. As a SM customer, I've found my experience wonderful. Other than a minor network outage during my first week of setup (september '03), their network has only had 3 minutes of unscheduled downtime for my server since it was first set up in (sept'03). Which is excellent in my opinion

Well,
I would recommend ev1 Servers or GNAX (Where I'm now), Gnax offers a Rock Solid Network good hardware and I haven't had any issue with any of my Clients who has a Server from me there
Maybe GNAX is too far from your budget, you can try ev1's bargain Servers. Managed can be a good choice if you where going to play with the Server but this is not the Case.^_^
