or you can try Linode which is my personnel fav provider for Unmanaged VPS
Additionally, Slicehost is still good, but I think spec-wise, the above 3 are better
Linode has the nice advantage that a) it has pv-grub, so you can easily use kernel26-ARCH instead of a kernel provided by the hoster b) you get direct access to the Xen console, so you can watch the machine boot and fix stuff
Point b) is seldom possible with dedicated servers (unless you pay extra), and also rare for a VPS. Point a) is usually not available on VPS.
Slicehost has (b), but you are stuck using their custom kernel
