I have moved web server to dreamhost, if you are looking for a good webhost with massive amounts of bandwidth, heaps of hosting room and an unbeatable price check out Dreamhost
If you are looking for a new web host, or even just looking to save money these guys have one hell of a webhosting package. For me I chose Dreamhost purely because the first 2 days after this site got it's first inbound links I chewed through 5GB of data transfer.
I am going to need a ton of bandwidth if I am ever going to get this site running the way I want - with heaps of video content.
As you can see the host speed is a little slow and support has been fine, if a little slow.
I have to also mention that I previously hosted a site with them for a friend but due to a strange php configuration we were working with on his site we could not run PHP as CGI, we emailed Dreamhost describing the situation and if we could get a refund. Within 2 days the money was back in the credit card account - no fuss. And a nice email from them asking us to come back if our circumstances change.
If you are considering a move then give these guys a try - I am very happy with the package.

* I have now been with Dreamhost for 1 month and have had no problems at all with them, they keep me informed of scheduled maintenance and any problems that occur by a RSS feed. So far none of the problems they have posted have affected me.
I like a company that is honest with their problems and issues, this way I know where I and my website stand.
Domains are set up in seperate folders, each inaccessible to the other, even my master username and password can only access one at a time, think about this for a few seconds. This combined with 75 seperate FTP and mail accounts - YOU CAN RESELL some of your space / bandwidth. I have already onsold 2 seperate FTP accounts and storage for 2 websites of friends - I now get free hosting.
You get unlimited free sub domains at xxx.dreamhosters.com for any test sites you want.
They have a customer designed interface that when I first looked at it thought it was a bit basic compared with cpanel, but I now realise it is a hell of a lot more advanced. I even have shell access.
I can choose between php 4 and php 5, MySQL 4 or 5, keyword filter, junk mail filter, custom MX records, 1 click redirect of non-www to www (good for google page rank), the list goes on....
Try them, with a 97 day money back guarantee (that I have previously tested) you cannot go wrong.
I definitely recommend them as a cheap, feature packed, best value webhost for a standard website or network of blog sites
