Hostmonster

Hostmonster is one of the oldest web hosting company's, with an excellent feedback. They own and operate their own data center with excellent infrastructure and top end servers.

Both hostmonster and bluehost is owned by the same company. But hostmonster provides better features at a less price! If you are confused between the two, hostmonster is defintely better.

Features



HostMonster surprises you with the features they offer for the cheap price of $5,95/month. Consider these:
UNLIMITED DOMAINS, Domain Name, Cpanel with Fantastico, Shell Access(SSH), 100 MySQL Databases, unlimited subdomains, Ruby on Rails(Ruby on Wheels), Custom PHP.INI Files etc.. etc.

This is more than what any advanced user will ask for. With huge space and bandwidth available, serious webmasters can really make use of the unlimited add-on domains. You also get to choose between PHP4/PHP5.

One can safely say that HostMonster offers all the features you would expect on a shared Linux hosting. From noobies to advanced webmasters, HostMonster will satisfy everyone.
