So far I've heard <a href="http://www.slicehost.com/">Slicehost</a> and <a href="http://www.ocssolutions.com/">OCS Solutions</a> suggested. (Slicehost offers Gentoo. Do I dare?)</p> <p>Note to all, my current host for my SBCL-driven site is <a href="http://futurehosting.biz">FutureHosting</a>. I'd advise people to avoid them if you plan to run SBCL. Their support and service is usually pretty good as long as you don't push it too far, but their servers are pretty wonky at times and after the comments from my last post, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of my problems were due to some kind of VPS misconfiguration. Their support staff told me nothing more than "pay for more RAM" when I informed them of the problems I was having.</p>
