I'm looking for a good web hosting company that will give me the following features:

1. Plenty of storage space
2. MySQL
3. PHP/Perl
4. Easy to install CMS (Wordpress or something similar)

I have used GoDaddy.com and swear I will never make that mistake again. If you can suggest someone that you have had good experience with I would really like to hear from you. I have heard that Dream Host is good, but I would just like to get some more input.

I would recommend www.downtownhost.com they have very reliable hosting and they don't oversell. So if you buy a package with 12gb of space then you can use all 12 gigs however you want. This is the host I just switched to and so far I have had no problems.

Another host that is good is www.hostgator.com

Both of the hosting companies mentioned above have great reputations on the Web Hosting Talk forums...www.webhostingtalk.com

This is a great site for CMS that require MySQL:

http://www.opensourcecms.com/

You can test out a large variety of CMS on that site, there is also a variety of web hosts advertising on the right hand side of the page which are CMS friendly, perhaps they are worthwhile, I can't speak from experience.

If you need a easy to install CMS then make sure your web host uses Cpanel for the administration. Cpanel has a section called fantastico that can install popular content management systems such are Wordpress or Drupal in one click. Both of the hosts I mentioned above have Cpanel.
