I can't recommend any though others may be able to do so.

I'd watch out for the following:

1. Downtime
2. Willingness to perform root functions for you
3. Ability to log in as oracle and have the required privileges and disk space
4. Ability to get 7x24 support without question
5. Ability to seamlessly go elsewhere if they don't keep their word on 1, 2, 3, and 4.
