Webfaction! You can't go wrong. It's screaming fast with it's fine tuned nginx servers, 512MB so it's more than most shared hosting environments will give you for applications.

I'm a big Wordpress blogger and run http://winthecustomer.com. I've been offered several free VPS accounts from various hosting companies in exchange for a plug for their services but after testing them out, I end up sticking with my PAID shared hosting account with Webfaction.

I've been a HUGE fan for 4+ years now. $7 mo. is the best $7 of hosting you can buy and better than others that cost $20+ per month.

NOTE: Webfaction doesn't gimmick you with "unlimited" crap with their hosting accounts. When others offer "unlimited" they really should included about a million * next to that. I used to work in Web hosting and know for a fact that after several gigs of space or bandwidth usage, they'll kick you out and force you to upgrade or find another host.

Another vote for Webfaction from me. Their support is excellent.
