I've been using HostingBay ( www.hostingbay.com.au ) to host 
nannupmusicfestival.org for the last year, they seem rock solid and are cheap 
too if you can use their unix (actually Red Hat) servers - 10Mb space, 
1Gig/Month traffic for $3.97 a month. I have only needed to contact their 
support once (via email) about changing plans, and they were very prompt 
helpful. On having a quick look at the site info, I couldn't see anything on 
shell access though.
Unfortunately I have to use their windows server due to needing access 
database support, which has 20Mb and the same traffic limit for $9.97/month.
