This is a VPS. You own the box. You can install whatever OS you want (Linux, a couple BSDs, even WIndows), wherever you want. The machine is yours. Even if you kill it (rm -rf / or dd if/dev/zero of=/dev/sda), you can go to the console and reinstall from scratch.

I have used HostPapa for a number of years and I am quite happy with them.

Never any down time that I noticed. And they added a PHP add-on that I requested. That impressed me on a shared host.

I guess I should have specified that I was looking for non-shared hosting.  I usually need to install my own things that aren't available in shared hosting environments.  I also like the freedom of being able to install and run whatever I like, especially services that run in the background.
