This is a difficult to answer question, because we are against affiliate links. In general, try to find the reputation of the Company rather than checking the costs, read the SLA etc. For this website’s guides and tutorials, we usually use these Cloud Service Providers :
IaaS : Mainly Rackspace for Cloud VPS. It is because we probably use all kind of services (mostly managed) from Rackspace, hourly billing makes our bill to increase by few cents on the next month, excellent support etc. Very rarely we use Amazon, HP etc.

PaaS : Heroku is our choice. Because its free up to a level and has command line access via git. We have lot of articles and guides. We also use AppFog, Red Hat OpenShift. Rackspace Cloud Sites among aPaaS.

SaaS : Google Apps (when it was free), DropBox (it basically becomes PaaS in our guides).

 

This is what we use for tutorials and guides, it is not a recommendation list.
