While they are frikkin awesome, they are not for average users.
True.. at a time i had cpanel dedi with fastservers and almost same same config cPanel dedi at BurstNet for about half price(with reseller discount + sale :P ). With fastservers i had 100% uptime and with BurstNet 98-99%
I kept Economy plan clients & Resellers on the BurstNet dedi
Non-LEB : prgmr & linode
LEB : citynethost & curlhost

Had to really think about this one it was like 15 years ago.
Shared - oc12host.com
VPS - Nixism (Purchased by Hostdime)
Dedicated - Hostdime
Colocation - Colostore and now multiple others.
my first vps provider was BuyVM for a seedbox :P
15 years.. sure? i see 24khost.com created may 2010
not sure when Mr Sal @prometeus started
http://www.hosting24.com/ is the non-free brand from 00webhost.com and was my first hosting provider too, gold package who register my very first domains too (7+ years domains until now). In Chile, early 2000 we have a provider called REUNA, today a non-profit institute and part of the Universidad de Chile.
Linode... I know I know.
That didn't last very long =]
1997 Had 15th celebration this year.

My first shared provider was Dreamhost, moved to bluehost and then to crucialwebhost, from that point I went to webfaction (the best Shared host I have found so far) and then my first VPS arrive with thenynoc, after that I been with a couple of VPS host's from LEB and others that dont qualify as a LEB host.
slicehost great uptime, and really hate them when they merger into rackspace :P

2006
I don't remember the name, it was 1997 and was a US provider. They offered me one used SGI octane on rent for 600$ / month, 3 months commit. The dedi market like we know now was not developed and with the next two providers i bought hardware to be shipped to the dc

Exactly why it's not there today.
My first host was CI Host in Dallas in early 1998 for shared hosting. I used them less than 3 months before fleeing. The 1 1/2 stars out of 5 they have in their 44 reviews at epinion accurately reflects the type of incompetent service they provided in '98.

After CI Host I made the mistake of moving to Montreal's WebHosting.com (this was before it was sold to SBC). The servers were so oversold that 50K HTML only web pages would take 2-3 minutes to load and during the 2 weeks I was with them the hard drive on the server I was on ran out of disk space on 4 different occasions. Their "24/7" tech support late at night consisted of 1 person who wasn't a technician and answered every phone line late at night (sales, support, etc)
After my CI Host and Webhosting.com nightmares I moved to Interland (no complaints) in Atlanta for 6 months and then I got a dedicated server at ServInt in early '99 and stayed with them for 5 years.
My first VPS was with echoservers, then Virpus. Quickly after that, I moved to buyVM and LEBs in general.
The VPS I had with echoservers was $22 / month at the time. I can get that for $7 here :P
First VPS was from Enotch, I think 2010?Then got a special from ThrustVPS. Used both for about 3months... got a Buyvm pony and never looked back again.
My very first VPS provider was VPSland with Windows Server 2003 installed. I'm totally blind with Linux at that time...
It's rapidxen for me. I used it for two years, and they were very stable.
My first host was GoDaddy and they were terrible. My first VPS was through Media Temple and I was pretty impressed, I'm now on other hosts since Media Temple is a little pricey.
