I second Linode.com
It's the first real VPS I've used and it's been pretty straight forward to learn. We're using it to host http://rumplo.com

Seconding (or thirding?) Linode.
We use it to host much of PostageApp. (http://www.postageapp.com)

I second this. Furthermore, it's cheap enough that there's no reason not to have dedicated instances for your DB server and your HTTP server.
Personally, I have a dedicated server, there's plenty to be had out there for a relatively cheap price. ($50ish range, they're out there, I'm hosting at http://securedservers.com)
A dedicated server is a good opportunity to learn about server administration too!

Rackspace "Cloud Sites". It is like shared hosting, except it scales. PHP and .NET only.
Media Temple is pretty sweet, and they have a friendly user interface.
Liquid Web or Storm on Demand (Liquid Web's cloud solution)
Serverbeach folks have great infrastructure.
Rackspace
Thanks!
