My web-sites is hosted on http://www.shlomifish.org/meta/hosting/ (eonspace.net). It's an operation of one or two people, which I can give the details in private emails. I have mostly static HTML there (generated using http://web-cpan.berlios.de/latemp/ and uploaded to the server using rsync) and a few Perl CGI scripts. It is a few servers hosted in Netvision, and was able to successfully sustain at least two Slashdot effects (one of them was thanks to Dotan). I'm happy with the hosting there. There were a few outages or other problems (some of them due to my fault), but it has the advantage of being very personal service. I can always reach my hostmaster using email, phone/mobile, etc. and he'll investigate and remedy the problem I'm having. And the price is cheap and affordable. I should note that the new server supports much more than I'm utilising. They are an up-to-date CentOS release with support for most modern stuff and web technologies, and I'm getting a fully functional ssh access. I once installed a Drupal instance there, but eventually I gave up on the idea of having the Drupal-based site I had in mind (of no fault of the hosting service).
