Paddy, I've been using Slicehost.com for a few weeks and I'd recommend it highly. I don't get a great deal of traffic, but it has been reliable and its very quick. Its an amazing deal for what they charge and you can bump your service up/down as you see fit. I'm just using the 256 MB slice and the visitors to my personal site are amazed at the difference. I was using Dreamhost and I liked the access they gave me, but at times the server was too slow for my liking. It does a wonderful job of serving up php/mysql and the Zend Framework.
If no one else had recommended you feel free to reference me: https://manage.slicehost.com/customers/new?referrer=277638520 It takes a few hours to get setup but its worth it.
