Really depends on what kind of site you want to host, if it's just static you could use Amazon S3 & Cloudfront, there's even a free usage tier: https://aws.amazon.com/free/
I use hetzner, they are based in Germany. The customer service is stellar and servers are priced very competitively. You can check them out at www.hetzner.de

I second Hetzner. Moved back/forth between a number of hosts but always (ultimately) hosted my projects on a Hetzner VPS.

I've been very happy with Liquidweb vps. High quality, excellent support, semi managed (fully managed available). Not super cheap, but not really expensive either.
The only experience I have to offer is at the bottom rung, the smallest possible servers. The one's you use for sandboxes or low-traffic personal sites. I made my decision a week ago, and landed on Rackspace. Their cheapest option is about $12 a month, compared to Linode's $20. Also, if you're new to web administration you'll be helped tremendously by all of the accurate and thorough tutorials they host. However, the two or three people that I know that administer larger sites suggested Linode, so as always your choice should probably depend on your individual needs.
