I also nominate BlueHost. It is what it is… it has the usual caveats of shared hosting, and the usual bells-and-whistles like email, push-button software installs including the common CMS packages, certificates, key based SSH access, static IPs, yada yada, CPanel, yada yada. The few times I've had to interact with the support, it was responsive and not horrendous.
Remember though, "unlimited" does not really mean unlimited. TANSTAAFL.
