MidPhase
Live Demo
PRICE: $8/mo
Coupons: SAVINGCENTER-93818 (3 months free, free domain for life)
Admin Tool: cPanel
Summary: This site, DrupalHostingReview.com, is hosted by MidPhase. Great balance of performance, price and service. Highly recommended, presently my top pick. -
DrupalValueHosting
Live Demo
PRICE: $10/mo
Coupons: HalfPriceBlowout50p (50% off 'blowout' package)
Admin Tool: cPanel
Summary: DVH is a new hosting provider. They started out really strong but have suffered some growing pains on the support side.
Blazing fast and cheap, but poor support options. These guys used to be my top pick, but I can no longer recommend them wholeheartedly. I still keep accounts with them and will recommend them for anyone who wants speed over support. -
1and1
Live Demo
PRICE: $4-10/mo
Coupons: Up to 5 free domains with hosting if you use this lookup tool:Admin Tool: Proprietary, clunky (vps uses Plesk)
Summary: Cheap. Great place to buy cheap domains. Shared hosting runs mySql on remote servers which usually = high latency, and slow load times for DB intensive apps like Drupal, but lately performance seems vastly improved. Also, on their cheapest packages you can't run Drupal's clean urls out of the box, and php's multibyte extension isn't installed. I keep an account with them primarily for domains, secondarily for cheap back-up hosting.They also have very competitively priced VPS (29.99 / month for 256mb ram).

AN Hosting
PRICE: $7/mo
Coupons: ANHOST911 (2 months free hosting)
Admin Tool: cPanel
Summary: These guys were bought by MidPhase a while back, and as far as i know, are essentially rebadged MidPhase hosting. -
MediaTemple
Coupons: None
PRICE: $20/mo
Admin Tool: Proprietary, sexy, mostly intuitive
Summary I've tried the GridService, even with the add-on MySQL GridContainers (~30/month alltogether) and Drupal performance still sucks. Like 1and1, this is due to mySql DB being on a different physical box than your hosting. Faster than 1and1 shared hosting... but still far from 'fast': Proof that a sexy site and control panel do not = great hosting. Not recommended for Drupal sites.
(Note: I do not have experience with their $50+ DV service, only GS)
