I second the Digital Ocean suggestion: I use them heavily both at work
and personally (gilesorr.com mentioned in my email signature is hosted
there), with all machines in their Toronto data centre.  We've used
them for approximately seven years (the Toronto presence is only about
five years old), and they've been excellent.  I think we should point
out one caveat: D.O. is American-owned.  Although if you were
considering Akamai/Linode, I guess that's okay.
