I am fat and happy with http://hostdepartment.com. $5.95/Month, I can
host multiple domains, includes mail list. I see where they also offer a
$3.95/mo with multiple domains as well. I can login with ssh, which
makes me happy.

I have one site housed on http://chihost.com. They were spectacular,
then they moved my web site to another server, restored from an old
backup and thrashed my joomla installation. It took me days to get the
site fully back online. While the rates are good, and their tech support
was awesome during the problem... there was still the problem.
