For personal hosting I'd highly recommend http://www.jvds.com/.  I have 
no affiliation but I've hosted my email & web on a usermode linux vds 
there for about a year an a half and always had great, knowledgeable 
support.  Rus, the owner, is a linux/bsd diehard and they offer a good 
choice of distros (RedHat, Fedora, Debian, Suse, Gentoo, Slack and
BSD's).

Do you use just the shared hosting or do you use the VPS. If you use the
VPS, how much diskspace does the OS install take and does the system act
like you only have the memory that comes with the plan? If shared
hosting, are you able to use any php app (I'm wanting to run just
gallery) or are you limited to whatever cms they support? This looks to
really cool.
