My Host is Toast

I'm looking for help from you, my superfantastic readers. After spending much of Sunday with my website/domain/email down, and after putting up with multiple small but annoying glitches in my administration of same over the past few months, I think I'm ready to pack up and move deadpan to a new hosting service. So I'm looking for recommendations. Gimme some names, people!

http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/ - I've had two accounts with them for a few years now - solid and reasonably priced.

http://www.homestead.com/ - I just started a company and I'm using them for web hosting. I don't know squat about web design, so their free design software helped a lot.

http://www.rcn.com/ - I started with dnai.com in 1997 before they were bought by rcn. Don't know if they're overly expensive or not, but they have 7x24 technical support and I've never had any problems with the two or three web sites I've been running. They probably direct connect to Homeland Security, but who the hell doesn't these days?

I used HostRocket for Open Source Politics and now InMotion Hosting for The American Street. Great tech support, bandwidth, etc, with either the 7.95/mo pkg or 9.95/mo (but pay a year in advance to get that).

Downtime? To my knowledge, only once for less than an hour all year. I'll be reupping in two weeks.

This may be the only piece of comment spam I will ever let stand here. Because it's the only piece of comment spam I've ever seen that's actually on topic!
