Bluehost sucks...

Well, all my sites are down for about 6 hours now and I'm quite annoyed. The only reason this blog is up, is because it's hosted by Google and not my current provider Bluehost. Is there a cheap yet reliable shared web hosting provider that doesn't suck? I was pretty happy with Bluehost for the past 4 years or so, but lately they've been noticeably overloading their servers: my sites are slow, the CPU usage is too high and now a lengthy downtime. Yet, the CEO is still bragging about how great he and his company is. Whatever... There seems to be a pattern. Every time I switch hosts, they're great for a good while, lots of features, fast, cheap. Then a few years later they suddenly start dropping like whore's trousers. This exact thing happened with Visaweb - my previous host. Well, I better start looking around.
