Reliable virtual hosting with scripting support? (e.g, help me fix my php code)

    So, this last week has sucked! I was using Servage.net, and they offer cheap hosting, uptime was ok, speed was ok, support was ok (they helped me out with coding issues which was very nice). However, my account there suffered its 3rd attack this year. Between viruses being thrown on my site and .htaccess files getting deleted, I am fed up with them.

    So, i switched to godaddy thinking that's a big name, must be decent. I didn't like how all of my sites had to be in a subfolder of my main site (you could go to www.spudgmes.com/tallyme.com and pull up tallyme.com). Servage had separate folders for all sites, and I like that (hint hint). My mod_rewrite rules were not all working at godaddy though, in fact, rules that were working couldn't be broken even. Any changes I made to .htaccess were unnoticed even after waiting 24 hours for changes to take effect. Their support was stumped and said i must have a scripting error and they won't support my scripting. (the .htaccess files worked fine at servage.net)

    I just got off the phone with rackspace, they want 3x as much money, and still no scripting support. I don't want to move all of my db's and files again only to be disappointed. So here I am. Any recommendations for under $10/month. PHP, mySQL, imageMagick support needed, scripting tech support would be a major plus, and someone with at least decent uptime, speed, and security. I have 4 domains currently, 100gb storage/1000gb transfer would be plenty. Would like room to grow too (e.g. someone who offers dedicated hosting as well) and I prefer a well known/established company. Any recommendations?

    Thanks for looking!
