I have found http://www.webfaction.com/ to be excellent over the last couple of years.

I can recommend Lunarpages - have been with them for years.  They always seem to be upgrading and expanding - so a good business sign.  Their tech support has always been helpful for me, and they have a very active forum community for help also.   They give you advance notice of server moves or any possible interruptions to your site.   They have been recommended on webmasters forums for quite awhile now.   Right now they are only $6.95 USD a month, but sometimes run $4.95 / month specials.

Mark,

I currently have one domain hosted on LunarPages. It's been there for several years. They're not bad, but nowhere near as good as Inmotionhosting.

GoDaddy has been great for me. Very simple to get up and running and they are always on top of things.

If you're interested I can tell you a real horror story about GoDaddy. As long as everything's swimming along they're fine, but don't let anything go wrong.

Wasn't the issue with lunarpages that they would put you on one of their short bus servers if you used too many resources?

That did happen to me once a couple years ago.   And it turned out it was some oddball search engine spiders pinging my PHP files like crazy - driving up resource usage.   So I blocked some IP's and updated my robots.txt file and all was well again.   It did take me some time to get through to a tech that could help me resolve the issue other than just blankly say "reduce your resources usage."
