If you want your own (virtual) server, you could look at linode.com.  They use 
User-Mode-Linux to give you your own virtual server with root access.  The 
plus is that you get to admin the box yourself.  The minus is that you get to 
admin the box yourself.  :-)  I have not being using it long enough to have 
any firm views on the service, but I think their admin tools are pretty good, 
and I do like having root access.

Was previously using Affordablehost, which is great for those on a tight 
budget, but I did have mail go down occasionally.

Despite being in Australia myself, these are both in the US since I have not 
been able to find equivalent value here.  A pity since I prefer to use local 
providers.

Cheers,

Rasjid.
