You have some pretty strict requirements there - I am curious as to why. Is your app really that complex where you require these services or are you planning ahead for scaling issues?

Personally, I go with Dreamhost. The price is right, their service is awesome, and customer support is willing to help you with whatever you need. If scaling becomes an issue - then go looking for a dedicated host.

For 90% of the startups that launch, scaling will never become an issue.

It's not a scaling issue, I just prefer to be in control of the server.

Virtual hosting is always an option, then -- cheaper than having to pay for a physical server (or its rental).

And eventually we'll have Amazon E2 ... eventually ... and with that, you can control the (virtual) server and deal with scaling issues.
