Ask YC: which hosting providers have hosted some recent successes into the big time?
i.e. which hosting providers have a proven track record of helping clients robustly scale their server infrastructure as a new service gains traction and becomes a 'big' site..?

I can personally provide an inverse vote for Rackspace. I would 100% recommend people to avoid them. More than willing to elaborate if anyone needs more details.
25 Ago 2003: Rackspace launches "hacker-proof" anti-DDoS system. Issues self-congratulatory press release.
26-28 Ago 2003: Most of Rackspace offline due to hackers taking them up on their challenge.
:( To be fair, they did some hand-holding afterwards but we had already moved out.

MediaTemple - they host some of the big guys. They also take care of the little guys like us!
