My web-sites is hosted on http://www.shlomifish.org/meta/hosting/ 
(eonspace.net). It's an operation of one or two people, which I can give the 
details in private emails. I have mostly static HTML there (generated using 
http://web-cpan.berlios.de/latemp/ and uploaded to the server using rsync) and 
a few Perl CGI scripts. It is a few servers hosted in Netvision, and was able 
to successfully sustain at least two Slashdot effects (one of them was thanks 
to Dotan).

I'm happy with the hosting there. There were a few outages or other problems 
(some of them due to my fault), but it has the advantage of being very 
personal service. I can always reach my hostmaster using email, phone/mobile, 
etc. and he'll investigate and remedy the problem I'm having. And the price is 
cheap and affordable.

I should note that the new server supports much more than I'm utilising. They 
are an up-to-date CentOS release with support for most modern stuff and web 
technologies, and I'm getting a fully functional ssh access. I once installed 
a Drupal instance there, but eventually I gave up on the idea of having the 
Drupal-based site I had in mind (of no fault of the hosting service).
