I would add, that for the odd server, Linode are very good.

OTOH it gets expensive fast of you need loads.

What we really need is the ability to buy a VMWare resource pool plus a 
load of IPv4 addresses with the freedom to do what we like within the 
pool. Most of the time our VMs (web servers) are very low consumption, 
but periodically one will need to do some serious work. This works well 
now as it basically can access all the resource it wants that is not 
being used by any other VM.

But I have no idea if there's a name for "buy a resource pool". Is that 
a private cloud? Hybrid cloud? Too much marketing bollocks and silly 
jargon obscuring something that is basically actually very simple.

I guess I'll have to phone some sales weasels.
