I'm Dutch so my webhosts have always been Dutch. I started with PCextreme.nl, it was a quick host for a low price. But because they became popular very fast the quality dropped like hell. At the moment my web development community still runs on it.

A while ago I rented my first dedicated server at Leaseweb.com, I now have it for about 3 or 4 months. Everything works like a charm atm (CentOS, PHP 5.2.*, MySQL 5.*, Apache 2.*) so my community will be transferd to that server in a few months.

Your own dedicated server is expensive, but it opens a big door... You can host whatever you like. I had a Counter Strike 1.6 server for a few months, just because i could. Also i can get a new domain with hosting for just 6 euro extra per year since i only have to pay for the domain. So when i think of a domain i just buy it for 6 euro and i have it. :)
