Need virtual hosting with WordPress, Dupal

[videosc]

I'm looking for a virtual hosting plan that offers one-click install of the latest versions of WordPress and Drupal. As of 1/8/08 WP is at version 2.3.2 and Drupal is at version 5.5. One of the things I've noticed from searching around is that a lot of hosting companies offer these two scripts but they don't always update them to the latest version, or they don't list what version they have on their sites.

Some other features I'm looking for are:

1. User friendly control panel (like C-panel).
2. Unlimited domains.
3. Unlmited (or high number of) MySQL databases.
4. No set-up fee.

Of course, I'm also looking for great customer service and competitive pricing, but I'd rank service and my above feature requests as more important than a cheap price.

I realize that a lot of people recommend going with a dedicated server, but I'm just starting out and want to begin with virtual and then upgrade later if my sites take off.

In my research it appears that Host Gator comes the closest to what I need, but I wanted to post here to see if anyone knows of other companies that can provide what I'm looking for. GoDaddy also seems to have what I want but I'd prefer to give my business to a company that supports the adult industry by particpating in boards like this.

Thanks!

Go with HostHead. They don't have one-click install of wordpress or drupal, but it's really not hard to install it yourself with an extra 2 clicks. With them you can have unlimited domains, nice amount of MySQL databases, directadmin control panel (which is way better than cpanel), and also no set-up fee. They have outstanding customer support, the best I've ever dealt with. As for competitive pricing, they have a virtual plan starting at $2.95 a month! and a dedicated plan starting at $79.00 a month fully managed!

If I were you I would stay far away from godady when it comes to hosting adult sites. And with hostgators cheap virtuals, trust me.. you get what you pay for and a quick GFY search on hostgator will show you that you're better off not doing that to yourself. HostHead is the way to go!

servage.net : 5000 gb transfer each month, 300gb disk space, unlimited mysql, autoinstall wordpress/durpal + instant support(within 2hours).

and if your site draws more traffic you should go to jaguarpc vps hosting. (see sig) , most hosting plan companies will ditch you when you have to much website load (if your site is popular, no matter you only use half your monthly traffic) and advice you to go to a VPS or dedi.
