I'm with 1 and 1. Always found them to be good although a lot of people say different.

http://streamline.net

I used them when i used to sell sites and webspace, generally pretty good. Never had any downtime even with stupidly high traffic. Not the cheapest but deffo the best ive used to date.

I have witnessed first hand pretty poor security by streamline.net (they gave me complete access to someone else's database), and they're basically a reseller for Fasthosts anyway (themselves hacked back in 2007). A quick google search for fasthosts hacked will dig up a few links.

In my experience with Fasthosts, things were fine so long as you didn't have a problem. I can remember many LONG conversations with tech support trying to convince them that the problems were at their end.

I often heard bad things about 1&1 (although I have never used them myself).

Just remember that you get what you pay for... If it's a simple website then you'll probably be fine with one of these hosts - if it's mission critical or you make money from your website then you may want to consider other options.
