Does anyone know a good web hosting company that would be appropriate for a high-traffic corporate website?

I currently use Dreamhost for my personal hosting and have been very happy with them. But I have no experience with their handling of larger demands than I place on them. I imagine they're equipped to scale well, but does anyone have any direct experience with this?

Also, does anyone know any other good hosting companies that would be worth looking at? I'm currently also looking at Tek Alchemy and SevenL, but I don't know much about them.

Thanks

Do yourself a favor write a list of things the site will need access to.

SQL (MS SQL, MYSql, PostSQL)
Webserver (IIS, Apache)
Control Panel
Language (ASP, PHP, Cold Fusion, etc.)
Mail (Exchange or Sendmail; will it be hosted on the same server or a different server)
Bandwidth (What kind of site this is, est. traffic per month)
Co-Location or dedicated server
Operating System desired (Linux, Windows, Mac OS, etc.)
Speed required by company (They may want more than a dedicated T1)
Fault tolerance (Dual server configuration or RAID configuration)
Backup solution (Cron job ran every MWF, Incrimental TTH, etc.)
Level of support on hosting provider vs. paid technical support from company

Another important thing is budget, how much your willing to spend a month.

Really, the list goes on. Start with that, and if you can post the results

A good place to search for other people's feedback on hosts you like the look of is WHT. Definitely avoid ultra budget hosts if it is a business site. TJR Networks and Myacen are both good.
