Anyone Using HostGator, Bluehost, or some other cheap shared hosting provider?

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

I am looking at cheap shared hosting providers.

I found two so far... Bluehost and HostGator.

I used Hostgator in the past and it was good and then really bad, and it 
has been a while.  I eventually moved on.  I have not used Bluehost and 
the reviews are mixed.

I have three requirements:

1) must have a control panel.
2) must have ssh access. Not sure this is really necessary because, off 
the top of my head, all I need is to be able to edit the .htaccess file 
which I can do local and FTP up... or the control panel might have a 
built in editor.  I probably need access to SSH so I can set file 
permissions.
3) must be highly discounted when buying in bulk.

Any other cheap hosting providers you would recommend?

Your thoughts?

Thanks!!
