DigitalOcean is great. Ive used it for about 2 years now. They have a ton of quality tutorials on *nix configuration and whatnot.
Students can also get free credit on DO through Github's education pack.
I'd also recommend ChicagoVPS, I switched to them as I found better deals ($5/mo for 5 GB memory) than DO.
