Stay the hell away from communitech! Go for either Virtualis or Digital Nation I would say.

Unlimited Bandwidth = dishonest 
I couldn't be happier with FutureQuest ( http://www.FutureQuest.net/ ).
There is much more to a good web host than just the numbers...

Tera-Byte were very good to me, its just that they are a budget host and won't install more modules.
While this is OK for most sites, some of the things I need, need more then the normal server config => which is why I am moving Webhost Area to a deda (when I get more $$$).

If you are looking for "higher" end, mid-range quality hosting, with guaranteed bandwith, and an uptime that is as close to
%100 as it gets, I'm working out a deal with my ISP (a well funded, well organized, growing regional hosting company) to offer dedicated, co-hosting and shared servers specifically for running MySQL/Links SQL.
As you all know, I'm extremely concerned with performance, and the #1 problem it seems is the availability of a good, solid host, that understands these needs.
After 5 years of jumping around, I found one that in 9 months has not caused me a single problem -- that is an AWESOME record. Their growing pains have _NOT_ impacted me, in any way, except I now have 3 fully redundnat backbone connections, full UPS, and much more. Most importantly -- _TRUE_ excess capacity.
In planning our growth out, I realized that it might be possible to pool resources, and offer more powerful packages -- with some basic support to get the site started -- at a lower cost to set up and to maintain -- and to grow -- than other hosts can do.
Eventually, even, a true database server to host the MySQL program, and allow the front end servers to handle more requests without adding hardware.
By pooling resources, everyone is basically responsible for their CPU and storage and the bandwidth should take care of itself, thereby cutting costs while maintaining high performance.
This isn't "cheap" but it's not meant to be. If you provide your own hardware (Unix only) prices start at $350/month for the co-host, bandwidth, and basic services. You are responsible for maintaining your own server via telnet/root access. I can provide basic set up and debugging for the site (another area of problems).
If you want to lease a machine, or need extra services, weekly or daily backup, etc, prices are figured indivudally.
It's not for everyone -- and starting out the deal Alex has is a good one, and cheaper.
I offer this as an alternative to the "unknowns" of other companies, and the low-end, free or too-cheap packages that are offered elsewhere.
If you are interested, email me -- I'm not going post more about this on the forum
Don't ask for "pricing plans" or "prices", there aren't any. Tell me what you want, and I'll try to figure something out. The basic fee is about $350/month if you provide your own server, and goes up from there. An active site, leasing a server, might get away with $600-$700/month. I have no pricing for shared servers yet, but I would need at least 3 interested parties to set that up.
If it's your business, you need a dependable host that you can grow with, and that is not standing still -- and making YOU pay for their growth.
I have had less than 3 hours of network down time in 9 months, it was all scheduled, and usually completed ahead of time. Most of that was upgrading the UPS -- now, anticipated network downtime is almost 0 for co-location customers like us -- they can re-route traffic on router upgrades, switch power supplies for maintennance, etc. Their goal is really to keep the co-location customers happy, and they work hard to do it.
BTW: the prices I'm figuring are in line with the ISP's basic rates, but offer more, because as a group or cluster of hardware resources are pooled -- including floor space, bandwidth, circuits, switches, etc. and it also gives more ability to keep prices low, and avoid surprises.
