Hostgator.com

HostGator has 24x7 live telephone and chat US-based support, they're inexpensive, cover all types of hosting (shared, reseller, vps, dedicated), have great peer support forums, fast ticket support response times, and their servers are current top-of-the-line models. Awesome company.

ICDSoft

I use this host for my personal site. I have never had any problems with my site or dealing with them. I use Server-Side-Includes and this was one of the few sites I found that allowed me to use them for a low cost (about $5 a month). I know that the sever is based in Hong Kong, but still my site loads quickly and everytime.

Slicehost

I've been using Slicehost for about 3 years, and it's been great. I've also used Bluehost which was terrible (also owned by same company as HostMonster), and Wiredtree which I wasn't that impressed with. Do your research, and don't settle for the giant hosting companies - there are better options out there if you care about customer service.

Thanks Webserve

I can't tell you how much I value the customer support at WebServe. They are always available, and I never have to wait more than 2 minutes to get someone on the phone. Dawn, in particular has helped me without getting frustrated. I am new at Linux, which is why it is great to have a team that can walk me through the process

Hostgator

Nominate Hostgator for best Linux hosting 2009. I've been around the block with a few others, but in 2 years with hostgator, I've had one 10 minute outage, and I only know about that from my monitoring service. Very happy, great forums, good support, well featured.
