For someone who's already crunched up one shared server and doesn't want to do it again, perhaps MediaTemple is more the way.

Depending upon those scenarios you may be best served with better shared hosting, a VPS, dedicated server, or cloud hosting. Overall reliability, maintenance requirements, and cost will also differ dramatically between those options. I work (tangentially) in this industry, so if you can/want to provide that data I'd be happy to help some more.

We've tried different places, but Pair has been the most consistent and well-supported. I’ll second the commenter on Scalzi’s blog who voted for pair.com.

The timing was ominous. We imagined justinelarbalestier.com was found collapsed on the internet floor, feet twitching slightly.

Registered through tucows? Personally, I would say 1and1.com, since that is who I use and have not had any problems, but then I don't have any readers and most likely wouldn't know. And that said, Scalzi moved from 1and1.com because HE had problems with them. That said, your IP address is hosting 388 websites and mine only has 116 which could mean nothing depending on the hardware. One day I hope to have host problems....

Also, think host, blue host and dreamhost are good places too. We recently started using Media Temple at my work and they seem really great so far.
