For me, I was having problems with webcams I have setup to overlook a beach getting too popular and taxing the server, so the host kept changing the file permissions on it to not display.. breaking my feed. so, literally, a single image sent me looking for a new host.
If you are able to run your apps on a LAMP stack, I suggest looking into grid based hosting. Detaches you from the problems of a single server overload... which is how most shared hosts are set.
I ended up at media temple and have my cam back online and the site is snappy. Support has been very good, although it does take them 20-24 hours in most cases.. so not the fastest but so far they have been very good in their replies and I am a happy customer.
If your interested.. check this coupon, 20% off their plans for the life of the plan. worked for me like 2 weeks ago, should show you the discount price before you checkout as well.. so you can see. I ended up prepaying for a year on their grid services.
