Hi, I just wanted to plug my hosting company. I don't own it and don't get kickbacks from this, but this week they went out of their way to help me and if you want a host that will be with you for the long run, these guys are tops.
When someone takes care of you, make sure to take care of them.
They are

1) They are willing to consider special technical needs.
My first commercial website,
www.sonicspeedsters.com was a failure. I sold a videogame on it. Well anway, to host the videogame, I needed to run a BattleNet type EXE server. They gave me complete access to one of thier unix servers, gave me control over a specific port I needed and let me have shell access to compile and test the server, and anything else I needed to get my BattleNet server running.
2) They are open to your financial situation.
After that site, I was working on HomePagePal.com. I began to run out of money while I worked on the site (since Sonic was not a money maker). So they gave me a plan of $0 per month until the site was done. Did you hear that? $0. Free. Not the same as a "free service" with ads, but like "Yeah don't worry about paying us until you're ready". This was for almost 6 months. Even though I still had other sites up they just wanted me to be a long term customer.
3) They pull through when you need them the most.
This week I took out huge ads worth four figure $ on eBaumsWorld, CollegeHumor.com and others and I told them it was arriving and my traffic would burst. They opened my server bandwidth up for this week just to make sure it all runs smoothly. Same price, didn't bat an eye.
They have full MySQL, the latest PHP, cPanel, shell access, the works. Anything I ask for they are on top of it.
That's my plug for
www.prioritycolo.com.
