I have been using InMotion hosting for a few years now and am pleased with them so far.  I am on their Pro Plan.  Virtually no downtime and great customer support.  My site really pushes a lot of data through them and performance has been reasonable.

I suppose the question back is,

The old joke...

Faster
Cheaper
Better

Pick any 2...

You will find lots of opinions and experiences here to wade through.

I'm an outlier. I own my own physical server in a local colocation facility. I don't have any problems with FTP sessions, or Cpanel limitations, or anything like that.

OTOH, I'm my own tech support. :)
