Excellent service, support requests usually get answered within 30-60 minutes, a broken disk in my server got replaced within 2 hours. Last but not least they have competitive prices. Had a server at http://www.server4you.de before, compared to hetzner the service is horrible. Tickets usually get answered after 24 hours.
On the other hand, Hetzner houses the servers in shanties, and when they say that they will shape you, that means you can expect 60% pkt loss and more. Not really useful.
Also, you have no real access to the servers except via stupid Lara consoles. I also remember evil power outages, which is not really what people in the right mind want either.
My personal recommendation is Vollmar - http://www.vollmar.net/ - quality hosting with someone reacting sensibly to the request tracker. They even offer *BSD installations and are very competent altogether. A friend of mine had stability problems with one of their servers, so they built a second one and let him test them both for about a week before he had to decide which one he wanted to keep.
They are also very uncomplicated with regards to IPs. You fill the RIPE request form and you get them at no added price.
