If you're planning to switch your host, you might also want to switch your registrar all in one swoop. Godaddy isn't exactly known for their integrity, I wouldn't feel comfortable having client sites sitting on that ticking time bomb.

That said, I use Dreamhost. They might have certain issues with clogged tubes when it comes to serving dynamic sites, but if you don't intend to get dugg or plastered all over delicious, I wouldn't worry about it. They have good support with a wide toolset, and a default installation of Rails and countless other gems, own up to any problems or errors on their part, and you can't beat the price... probably.

What my sites use currently is only about 3gb for space. Dont really know about bandwidtch. However, this year alone I plan to triple that useage with some new clients I am bringing in.

I like godaddy.com because I use their shared hosting and then i just sublease out some fo the space and have my clients pay me which I make a decent monthly profit off of. So I am definitely looking to keep the costs low to maximize revenue.

One thing I like about godaddy and I can register my domain and host all with one company so I just call them when I need something. Plus, they have been around for a while and my prices havent slowly risen, unlike someother hosting companies I have used in the past.

However, I DO miss the cPanel. The only servers that have it on godaddy cost like $300 a month which is out of my price range.
