Have you looked at Bytemark? They do both VMs (UML based) and dedicated servers.
I've been using their VM products for about 4 years now and can testify
to their quality. I've also done some admin work on a dedicated server
they provided which runs well.  Their VMs start at 15 quid a month and
go on up from there. I use several of their 30 quid jobs. They also
provide free extras like oodles of network backup space, free dns
hosting, out-of-band console access to servers (both VMs and dedicated
servers), distcc compile farm,  boot server for rebuilding your box from
scratch remotely, debian mirrors, etc, etc. They do a Plesk offering as well 
as Debian, Gentoo, Red Hat and, I think, CentOS and Ubuntu. You can also 
scale the VMs resources as you go, bolting on extra RAM, disk space, etc.

Definitely worth giving them a look see. Nice guys. Matthew Bloch is
the chap you want to speak to.

Cheers
