I want to caveat my choice by saying that I have been through the following options before settling on my latest and honestly greatest choice by far: I used and cancelled; lunarpages, dreamhost, mediatemple, globat I switched to HostGator Alluminum reseller program (but do not actually resell the space) I house each project in its own cPanel so that I can modularize each project and have any join or access it if necessary. Helps me track bandwidth and start from scratch fast on new things. It also affords an infrastructure I have not seen elsewhere. I support this decision after using Pingdom on my sites at MT then hostgator and seeing large latency differences. I feel it was a good sample set as the sites were identical (PHP\MySQL) on both services. However that being said I am going to be using Engineyard for the first time now that I have a RoR project. My older php\SQL sites will remain however on hostgator.
