I use HostDepartment…for the most part they are reliable, I suppose, and they are cheap for sure, but I just recently got hacked/defaced (am still defaced, actually), and so, I don’t know…
Maybe you’re better off without them? =/ Still, look into them they have lots of packages, maybe something will fit you.
I have used Hostgator for a number of years and find them very good. Not the absolute cheapest possible, but reasonably priced, reliable, with good tech support.

Thanks – I’ve seen some ads for Hostgator. Good tech support would be a bonus.
Sairah? How has HostDepartment responded to your hacking?
If you’re looking at several small sites, try nearlyfreespeech.net
Lacks some features that most hosts have, but has other features that no hosts have. The best bit: it’s pay-as-you-go.

Zazen, since the last time I posted, the support has gotten back to me. They didn’t fix the problem, but it was partly my mistake. Still, they offered a nice where-to-go-from-here solution that worked and I am up and running again- but this time I won’t be changing the permissions in my themes files! =)
They are cheap, have lots of great features and tech support is…well, they respond to tickets within 6 hours (or claim to try to, at any rate). If you’re thinking of using them just remember that to post tickets, they have a separate section which is not the same as the link you would click through your cpanel. That’s what took me so long. >.>;
You can e-mail me or however you PM on this thing if you’re interested….I would recommend them.

Sairah and ousep – thank you. I will explore these hosts and see which bests meets my needs – I still have a little time to decide. I am happy to keep taking recommendations, too!
