being based in Europe I can also say that I really like Hetzner. I use
their bare-metal offer as well as their vm-setups for temporary/fast
testing but all on Linux...

That said I also use hostpoint.ch for hosting and bare-metal. It's based
on freebsd and even more important for our company located in
switzerland. Prices are ok too.

Cheerio,
