Hosting Service Reviews
Ok, I've been a web designer professionally for 5 years. I've tried a lot of web hosts (Hostway, Geocities, Dreamhost) and I've seen even more via my clients (IX Web Hosting, LowestHosting, PowWeb, and more).

My recommendation? Contact me, I have my own dedicated server. If you insist on shared hosting, try Dreamhost. They offer a ton of features for the money, but their stability has been terrible lately and their email has always been wonky. So don't host anything mission critical with them. They offer unlimited domain name hosting per acct, unlimited databases (MySQL 5.0), PHP 4 and 5, a full-featured web panel, and more. But...the good news is you don't have to take my word for it because they offer a 97 day trial.
