Ill second that, I wasnt real impressed with GoDaddy either.
Ive been with IX for awhile and have only had one major problem with them that was fixed pretty quickly.

When I first got involved with some solo web projects again I decided to go with a cheap host to experiment. We use 1and1 at work and although the support is bad, the hosting was pretty stable and I had much experience with the CP.
Now I regret even touching 1and1. I'm losing money as I type. I was able to kick things into the next gear quickly with traffic and earnings and as soon as I did, problems started popping up left and right.
The sites on one account suddenly started getting constant 500 server errors and despite repeated contact with "support", the problem is still at large. First, they didn't even understand what I was taking about. Then they tried to blame it on scripts that worked fine before (made no changes). Then they started changing my .htaccess files - which did NOTHING to help the situation.
Meanwhile with account number two, they claimed two of my sites were using most of the resources on the server. I was told to either go dedicated or bring my sites elsewhere.
I just signed up with Liquid Web because of their long-standing reputation. 1and1 is now my "beater host."

I had a 1and1 dedicated at one time for like 6 months and it worked just fine for me. It was very cheap to boot. Something like $50. The shared hosting sucks, I bet.
I second Site5 being shitty... I used them before I had my own server. I have learned to never pay for hosting in advance no matter what the repuation of the host is.
Lesson learned!!!

Another one that wasn't too pleased with Go Daddy Hosting, won't be making that mistake again in the future.
I have been using Site5 for a while now, I have no complaints what so ever. Infact I am in love with their control panel.
Canceling domains with 1and1 is a nightmare. But they are cheap as shit. Shared hosting sucks for SEO purposes, but its so f'ing cheap. I have dozens of domains hosted on one hosting package that costs me nothing.

Im starting to have a change of heart about IXwebhosting, I cant all out bash em because they have been half decent to me, but I have been having allot of problems with them lately.
Many hosts go through the whole bell curve of sucks, good, very good, okay, sucks again :0
It seems as webhosts grow, there are very few that manage that growth well. That's why it's so hard to give recommendations about which one is best one to go with.
As regards ones that suck... ResellerZoom, AllReseller.... both of these started off good for me, but six months later it's a different story. Avoid.

I had a few sites on a GoDaddy shared server and they were as slow as molasses. Their customer service has been good though.
Shivers to anyone who ever decides to go with godaddy hosting...
I'm also noticing some slowdown times on my dreamhost account to (but who can complain for 20$ for a year
