    I use DreamHost and am very happy with their service. They offer a lot of features for the price.

    Their basic $8 plan includes:

    host unlimited domains
    host unlimited subdomains
    20 GB Disk, 1 TB Transfer/mont
    3000 Mailboxes, 75 Shell/FTP Users
    php with unlimited mysql databases
    much more..

    Also the disk space allowance automatically grows by .2GB/week
    and your bandwidth allowance grows by 8GB/week

    Those 2 features + the unlimited domains are my favorite features

    feel free to PM me if you have any questions or anything :)

    When you say unlimited domains, do you mean you can have a number of sites with different domain names all hosted under that one package? I am with godaddy, who I have been quite happy with, but I think I can only have the one domain with each package - and subdomains & alias domains

    I'd second Dreamhost if you are looking for something cheap that allows unlimited domains/sites and pretty much unlimited traffic.
