We have a CentOS VPS with a hosting provider hosting one of our company websites. We are finding recently that about once a week a table will "crash" and needs repairing via phpMyAdmin.

No harm in ruling out something obvious, so when I've seen this before it's turned out to be the disk getting full. Something (like a busy mail spool or large logs) has been taking up disk space which was later freed so it wasn't immediately obvious (but you'd know if the disk was close to full or a bit on the tight side).
