Better read Web Hosting Talk, only very few web hosting which don't have negative issue from WHT members
Most of my websites are hosted with Hostmonster, Bluehost, And Globat. Bluehost is working perfectly for me though.
All of mine are now hosting on evohosting.co.uk plans. There was a point when i had some geocities hosting, but i moved to something more professional to meet my needs ^-^
I just use Hostgator for a small site that I'm running. For a much bigger site that needs dedicated hosting and a reliable backend support staff, I would actually look somewhere else though.
