    Neither. If you want shared hosting, buy from someone who doesn't oversell. I recommend PowerVPS

    from hostgator's website:

    Do you offer Telnet or SSH access?

    No, due to security reasons we do not offer telnet or shell access for shared and reseller account. All dedicated servers come with full Telnet and SSH access. You are still able to unzip files on the server using our file manager as well as the ability to setup cron jobs. Additionally, our technical support staff can run some commands for if you need them.

    Stay away from bargain web hosts.. You may save 2 dollars initially but may end up costing you thousands in the future. But if you are just starting, going with dreamhost or the like is probably fine.

    Hostgator by far. Dreamhost was the worst host I have ever used, and I've used a lot.
