    I emailed servepath.com about this very question a while back, and they
    replied that they would install whichever FreeBSD version I wanted
    including 5.3-Release. I don't know anything about servepath.com (I'm
    not a customer), but I would say, don't move providers unless you are
    unhappy with the service ;-).

    As far as other providers go, I can't comment on the quality or
    reputation of these services because I haven't made use of any of them
    (yet). That said, here is what I found when I looked for this a month or
    so ago:

       -- http://www.netsonic.net/freebsd-pkgs.php
       -- http://www.nocster.com/servers.shtml

    Maybe there are others now that the 5.3 branch has been stabilizing for
    a while. Hopefully the 5.4 Release will be adopted by many dedicated
    hosting providers. I know that I plan to look for a 5.4 system in the
    coming months.

    Let me know if you find others that I didn't mention.
