I think we'll go with Dreamhost -- Tim, I had seen all the good things you and others had said about Segpub, but since I have quite a few (admittedly lower volume) sites, Dreamhost stack up better on price. Thanks again! Hey guys, thank you all for your recommendations.

They have an excellent support community with a wiki and forums, and a refreshingly honest blog where they openly discuss some of the nastier aspects of the hosting business.
