Hosts?

Nope. Better off going with a provider that doesn't specialize with Minecraft. Save a ton of money that way 
Redstonehost and Creeper Host are probably the lowest on the tier of great servers. I am qualified to say that seeing as I have experience running MC servers since multiplayer was first invented and have used both those hosts more than once. Most people ignore this advice, but do yourself a favor and save yourself a headache and go with a decent host

Just cause a server host doesn't mention Minecraft anywhere doesn't mean their servers won't be good, maybe great for it.
For a host that actually markets themselves as Minecraft hosts check these guys. http://redstonehost.com/
Pretty damn user friendly, but you can do things like run Mumble servers alongside it, change the OS, stuff like that. I picked the Diamond Tier for about 10 people, working great.
Edit: The 3 providers that have been mentioned in this thread so far are considered the top 3 choices I would say, depending on location.

I've been pleased, very pleased actually with Vilayer. Their virtual servers are pretty beastly for their price. I'll put it this way 12ish players on, generating terrain, dynmap rendering, with no server lag. This is with some good power gen and other ages loaded.
Edit: Even our Aussie users I believe weren't experiencing anything out of the norm. As for customer service goes, no issues. I had a question and it was answered within 2 hours, no hassles. Uptime has been amazing, I don't think we've been down due to their end, just the usual minecraft errors that pop up from time to time.
