I have been in the webmaster business for 25 years. I have literally used 100s of servers and hosting companies during that time -- Used to be, companies like Hostgator, Arvixe, BlueHost -- All were good -- But then they were bought out by a company called EIG -- EIG is like the King Midas of Toilets - Everything they touch turns to sh**.... Use a company that IS NOT a subsidiary of EIG is my best advice.
The following is a list of the host companies acquired by EIG over the years -- I would stay away from all of these if I were you. I am saying this from experience with several of them. My recommendation is at the bottom of the list.

I run 40+ websites on
GreenGeeks. In my opinion, they are the fastest and most courteous group I have found -- Here is a
link with my referral. But, you can always just search for them!
Good luck! Hope that helps.
