Hosts I haven't personally tried but look damn good:
- http://1and1.com
- http://www.bluehost.com/ - this seems kind of slow at times, doing admin tasks and such.

- http://www.thiswebhost.com/
- http://anhosting.com
- http://midphase.com
WEBHOST BLACKLIST
these are webhosts that we've tried and they suck in some form or another, so avoid these.

I go with Westhost . What's really cool with them, is not only do you get a ton of space & bandwith, they do VPS hosting, which gives you alot more control over your space. They also have a ton of apps already ready to install through their control panel, which makes it nice for those who don't have the know-how to install them on their own.
Edit: forgot to mention they have plans starting at like $4 a month.

i use http://jaguarpc.com. they'er local to houston (though i've had them since i was in seattle!), have pretty competitive packages and in the 5+ years i've used them, have had next to no downtime. they also handle domain names at their sister site aletianic.com i think is the site - they have it on their page. most are $10.00 a year (for the domain name!)

i removed Dreamhost from the list.
To be honest, i've never seen a worse control panel in my life. And where the hell are my IPs so I can get shit ready while the damn domain is propagating /being transferred.
4 thumbs down for this place.

UPDATE: dot5hosting took a sever turn for the crap-closet.
They changed their entire pay structure and will eventually try to nickel and dime you death by charging you for little thing: mysql database *cha-ching*, addtional sub-domain *cha-ching*...you get the idea.
Sad really.
I removed all content with the exception of a pointer web page to my other webhost: http://www/globat.com I've also used these guys for my other sites and have actually been really good (not perfect, mind you) about 95% of the time and they try to resolve your issues in a timely manner.
Other well-recommended web hosts:
http://www.Bluehost.com - the web host used by the developers of phpbb - I intend to switch to them to take advantage of their practice of offering the latest php/mySQL versions, which is great for such portals as Drupal, Mambo, Joomla, etc.
http://www.lunarpages.com - very similar service and reputation to bluehost. They will also credit you like 6 months of your existing account when you sign up for 12+ months in advance. Not a bad deal if you ask me. Link to the offer: [Click Me]

I use bluehost.com and can vouch for them. Very easy to use control panel (if I can find my way around it you KNOW it is easy lol), craploads of scripts you can install with a click of a button like phpbb, coppermine, wordpress, etc., more bandwidth and space than I can ever hope to use, and their customer service is awesome. I was actually using another webhost a couple years ago, had problems where I needed to call tech support...which ended up being someone contracted out by the webhost who actually recommended the switch to bluehost.
