I'm looking for a reasonably priced dedicated server for my sites. I have searched around the web, and the two I'm looking at are: mediatemple.net and fasthosts.co.uk.

I've heard and read good and bad reviews about both services.

Do you have any experience with either? Or can you recommend a good provider?

I am happy - very happy - with WiredTree.com. Their support is just plain fast and knowledgeable.

Silicone Valley Web Hosting.

Maybe not the cheapest, but you probably won't find better service and topnotch systems engineers on duty 24/7.

They manage 1000's of dedicated servers for quite a few Fortune 500 companies.

We run a forum on a dedicated server with them with pretty much zero downtime and if need arises they are there to handle anything our Admins can't.

I recently moved from SVWH to Hostgator and never looked back. For webhosting of many domains Hostgator and their support is top-notch. For a little more than $200 a month you can get a very nice dedicated server with baby plans at under $10.

Servebydesign.net has great pricing - almost too good.

I run a dedicated at GD and a VPS at Hostgator - but can't necessarily recommend either. Might look at swapping my VPS over to servebydesign since it would be about the same price.

I like RACKSPACE..... I've been with 4/5 different hosts through the years, and RACKSPACE is the best....
Also the most expensive, but you get what you pay for, and I get the most help with them and the least trouble...
My sites are larger type sites and I can not afford downtime. Their fanatical support claim is not an exaggeration.
