I started using slicehost recently and have had a good experience with
it.
The articles are well written, and they're good about helping out via
their chat service.

My only prior linux administration experience was running linux on an
older laptop, which hardly compares with setting up a server.  I had
no
real problems with getting it going (setting up postfix with google
apps
mail took a little finesse), and I found the learning experience to
be
useful in itself.

That said, you do incur a labor cost in administering your own server.
You should look at engineyard if you want to take a lot of that work
out of your hands.   They're expensive, but they offer a lot of
configuration
and deployment automation/consultion, and they have the esteemed
Ezra Zygmuntowicz on staff.
