I always recommend:

If you need managed:

NakedHosting / CertifiedHosting
- fully managed servers
- cPanel/WHM available
- free site migration
- real 24/7 support (no outsourced monkeys from india/philipines)
- rock solid network
- they are based in Las Vegas (where all the fun is + no hurricanes)

If you know how to manage it:

DigitalOcean
- SSD drives BLAZING FAST!!!!
- Lots of ram and fast CPU for le$$
- 1TB of bandwidth
- cheap backups
- fast and seamless upgrades
- instant activation/provisioning
- can buy install cPanel/WHM license for easier management (FREE INSTALL)
