Dreamhost has been adding new features, more bandwidth, and more 
storage every month for each customer. They always seem to give more 
stuff as time goes on, with no increase in price. I know it sounds 
idealistic, but its true. And there's now no limit to the number of 
real domains. They also offer more  programming tools than anyone 
else. All the servers are Debian Linux and the focus is definitely 
non-Microsoft but they'll let you host a Frontpage document if you 
really have to. They're currently running 4.1.14-Debian_3.

Their servers are in the Long Beach area, connected directly to one 
of the biggest pipes in the country through multiple ports. Their 
uptime is extraordinary (and they tell you what is happening when in 
the rare case it's not up with an out-of-their-network web page) and 
the control panel software (that they wrote) is really good - Point 
and click for all server functions. Finally they are Linux/Perl/Open 
Source geeks and have included 'one click' installs for many goodies 
including Gallery and Wordpress.

I spent a couple of years searching for a host like this. I usually 
don't evangelize anymore, but this is a good one. They have great 
plans for around 10 buck/month and their 'Code Monster' plan for 20 
is also useful to me.
