I use Bluehost for Troubleshooters.Com, and am mucho pleased. More than enough 
bandwidth to accommodate my >5000 visits per day, and if Troubleshooters.Com 
has been down, I've never heard of it. MySQL, Perl, RAILS, and all the other 
goodies.

One terrible thing about Bluehost. They throttle their mailing lists, so if 
your mailing list has significantly more than 10 or 20 people, it could be 
hours before you receive back a message you send to the list, especially if 
everyone else is sending messages at the same time. For instance, the TriLUG 
mailing list could NVER be hosted on Bluehost.

But for everything else, they're outstanding.

I'll also recommend FutureQuest (http://www.futurequest.net/). Kevin Korb 
works for them, as do others of his caliber.
