Looking for a new host, what do you recommend?

I am currently on asmallorange.com and I'm on a $5/month plan.. that's 400mb/10gb bandwidth.
They have great customer service, very fast.
Great features:
* Unlimited POP3/IMAP Mail Accounts
* Unlimited MySQL Databases
* Unlimited Mailing Lists
* Unlimited Email Forwarders
* Unlimited Subdomains
* Unlimited Parked and Addon Domains
* Unlimited FTP Accounts

The only downside is that my websites go down once or twice a day for a few minutes.
I have asked them about it, but they only told me they're working on it.. it's been happening for a while, I'm sick of it!
I'm looking for a new host now, I have 3 new blogs hosted with asmallorange and traffic is getting higher everyday and I don't really want to stay with them and pay more if my websites will keep going down..
What are you guys on? Anything to recommend?
I'm looking for similar features to asmallorange and something in usa

I recommend looking on www.webhostingtalk.com for a host that suits your needs.

I use InnoHosting. They have been great so far. I have a reseller account there. They don't have as many "unlimited" features because they don't oversell their servers. Support is great and they'll migrate your sites for free if you move to them.

i like hostgator for budding sites; their customer service has always been great, quick, and responsive to my needs. Upgrading is easy as well too.

Use hostmonster.com

by far the best service/experience/price/bangforbuck

I use Knownhost. Been with them for about a year and never had any down time at all, they start from just $5 a month

dreamhost. find a coupon and pay for the first year only 30$ or something. but the next year will be the full price.

Check out servage.net

Great services, low prices, and you can earn hosting by sending referrals.
You can pay once, then never pay again, just get two months for free for each referral you send.

Use coupon code

neverpayagain

and get 25GB extra storage space for free.

i heard that their bw counter is counting like 10x, if you use 10gb, counter will say 100gb used. is this true?

i am using hostgator and i am very happy with them. never got my sites down. i am using them from last 2 yrs. If you are looking for some cheaper option with big features try netfirms.com/max

you will love how much they are giving you in $10 for a year. No other can give you such price.

My vote goes to hostgator as well. Nice speed and low price.
