Seeking paid or free hosting, currently run a wordpress blog and a somewhat system intensive custom drupal install. Looking at maybe adding another wordpress blog in the near future as well. Requirements: <100gigs storage <500gigs transfer (total right now, I think im using about 5 gigs of bandwidth a month) Main priorities...fast and reliable. Doubt I'll ever make digg front page, but I dont want a hosting plan thats going to can me, or disable my account/site if I do. Paypal or Money Order payments only. My budget is no more than 10$/month. I'd prefer Cpanel for each domain, rather than addon domains, but Im flexible on that point. Allows for ocassional linking to warez, although none will be hosted directly. Support, preferably with a customer forum for community help. My main concern is speed and reliablity though. Fast mysql databases/access. High uptime. Can live without tons of emails and subdomains, as I'll be using google apps for your domain/gmail for both accounts, so I'll need to be able to edit MX records as well. My highest traffic site should/will be the drupal based site, and this will be the one I'd care the most about performing the best. Which is why I was looking at http://www.drupalvaluehosting.com which I found via the drupal forums. They're a new company, but look to be a pretty good bang for buck. Anyone had experience with them, or have a similar service? I'm looking to transfer (which I may need some help with) in the very near future. Thanks for your time and please let me know what offers you guys have/have seen. Affilliate links welcome if you are using/own the service, if I decide to use it, I'll even sign up via your link.

Anything special about the hosting services you guys listed? Are you guys using them yourselves or running them? Reviews available? I think I'd prefer a reseller account so I can keep my domains seperate. Keep the suggestions coming, but for now I'm still kind of impressed with the reviews of drupalvaluehosting.com
Check out DreamHost.com I have been using them for over 2 years. I have over 20 domains. It works great for me. If you need a promo code you can use this one for $50 off at signup. DREAMHOST4WP50 It will cover your signup fee on the monthly plan so you can check it out for free then cancel if you don't like it.

Thanks for the links InFloW. Reading through them now. I should add that the two main sites I'll be hosting are the ones listed in my sig, with the possibility of adding another wordpress blog as well. Thanks again.
