A virtual machine?

Very good.

That they don't host too many VMs in the box. That they have good response 
time and that you can move up to better plan easily.

I use http://hub.org and am so far very happy.
They are the same people that run PostgreSQL Inc. so if PostgreSQL is your 
DB, they are a good host. They also host Mysql too.

In general I think VMs work great if you have many low traffic, low space 
clients. For busy sites with big disk demands a collocated box probably 
your best choice.
