read below only if the provider you are abandoning is not dreamhost,

We use dreamhost exactly with the features you mentioned above,
for some domains we use their email servers,
others transparently forward to google (never tried yahoo)

we run a bunch of heavy web apps on servers colocated in Albuquerque
(Prism)
and we use DH DNS to redirect all http related,

For a another couple of domains, 
we just manage DNS from godaddy,
to direct requests to our servers without using DH email srvs nor their
DNS

although DH offers unlimited all
I remember that when running a memory intense app, 
it will be just killed if the memory of its process goes over a little
threshold,

with storage that doesn't seem to be a problem,
you can copy your keys and do rsync to any folder on your /home
it won't be seen unless on a http path, or you can put your
own .httpaccess file,

you can even install git locally and run your repos there,
(you can really install whatever you want via ssh on your own user
account)

although for hosting code I'd recommend http://github.com 
it is our only place for code, we pay a private plan and is totally
worth it,
