I've got a custom VMWare image that I need to find a host for. Anyone know of a good ISP that offers VMWare hosting packages?

I've been using http://www.tummy.com/Order/virtualhosting.html now for about 4 or 5 years and have been extremely happy with their service.

Several months ago they switched from Xen to Vmware esxi server. The performance and reliability have been quite good. Tummy.com is a linux consulting company and the few times when I've had any kind of problem with my VPS, within 15 minutes I've been called back by a knowledgable senior member of their technical staff. Email that I've sent to their support address is similarly responded to by experienced technical staff.

Though they do not offer direct connection to the console of the virtual machine, I've actually found that I like this better than when I hosted with providers that did. Once or twice my VM crashed and they called me immediately and asked if I wanted them to reboot it (I think they monitor all vps's), whereas most of the providers with console access leave the vm down for you to deal with yourself.

I currently run CentOS on my VPS, though they have other Linux distributions available as well.

Tummy.com's hosting facility is in a highly reliable facility with redundant fiber and internet connectivity. I've had practically no downtime since I've hosted with them. They always send out advance notices of scheduled maintenance and service interruptions have been minimal due to redundancy in their network.
