I run a few Drupal sites up on http://dotable.com and I'm very happy with them as an ISP. Make sure to get on one of the new servers, though, as the standard ones run a rev of MySQL 4 that has a particular incompatibility with Drupal. They went top the trouble of patching that for me, on my request, but found that their cPanel hosting environment wasn't amenable to being patched. So i have no complaints with them - they went above and beyond, and their support is excellent.

>>We currently have one server with multiple domains and Drupal installations. The host, Site 5, is very cheap and has a good user interface, but for random periods of anywhere between 1 and 30 minutes the site will be down--either an "unable to connect to sql database" message or just the browser's "page cannot be displayed." This has probably happened six times in as many months. We switched to this host when we switched our website from basic HTML to Drupal, which runs on a MySQL database. Is it common to randomly lose connectivity to the database like this? Has anyone had similar experience with Site 5? Can anyone recommend a more reliable web host?>>
