I'm currently checking out two of them: http://superiorhost.com

and
http://featureprice.com

they both claim superfast speeds with astounding connectivity info, but do hosts ever limit bandwidth?? Do you know of any good hosts?

This is the one that most of the Mac sites (and myself) use: www.pair.com

100% reliable. MacNN does NOT use them, that is why they always go down

I use OLM; they're fairly decent.

Dreamhost is fairly popular as well.

I personally use Dreamhost but I am also looking into DownTown Host. I just discovered their website in the last few days. They seem to have some really reasonable rates. As for Dreamhost, I am very happy with their service. Very useful web control panel to manage all of your sites. Also, they have a greater than 99.5% uptime. Not too shabby.
Yeah, about those TPS reports, didn't you get the memo?

I would also like to second the motion for Hostway. They run RedHat Linux 6 and they also give you your OWN SMTP server and terminal access. Not to mention that they have some very good deals. It's hosted in Chicago and I live in PA and it's FAST! Definately check it out!
