I like Dreamhost.com, they have been reliable for me.  Their web page
at dreamhoststatus.com keeps you up to date on their network, and
their one-click installers are great for installing blogs, wikis, etc.
 They even host Subversion servers for you.

I have a referral ID if you want to sign up and help me with my hosting fees. :D
