I have used bluehost.com  and godaddy.   I had a heck of a time
getting my domain out of godaddy, they ARE tricky little rodents.  I
prefer bluehost cause' they give shell access and it's cheap, I
haven't had any issues with them for about 3 years now.  I bought in
with a  3.95/mo. first year promotion but I think it's actually ..
6.95/mo.   I hear hostgator.com is supposed to be pretty good as well.
 I believe those are the three "biggest"  hosting companies.

Later,
George
