I'm currently hosting all of my sites on Rack Space cloud. http://www.rackspacecloud.com/ <http://www.rackspacecloud.com/>They are basically SliceHost, they bought them a little while ago, but you pay for bandwidth usage instead of having it built into your contract. If you have a low bandwidth site you can save quit a bit over SliceHost. I'm using a 512 MB server and it works great. We have about 400-600 visitors a day and over 3000 products and it doesn't really stress the system at all.
