Hmmm... well... I used to run a reseller account with Hostaway before they merged with someone else (can't for the life of me remember the name). The quality of the server was fantastic, but when I had an occassional issue they were nowhere to be found and I would wait over a week to reach someone. I got EXTREMELY fed up with them and canceled my account. I really appreciated the server stats that were available to me too though. It really helped with trouble shooting.
I am a reseller for GoDaddy now. They have their pros and cons. Their customer service has been about 95% phenominal, with the occassional annoying person. They are ALWAYS available to help you and will even give you a personal rep for free. Their user resources are outstanding as well. I love their control panels and features. Very easy to use and understand. Full of user control. I also have to say that their DNS updating has been much faster then a lot of other companies.
My only complaints with GoDaddy is that some times their tech support is a little less educated then desired, but I can always get ahold of someone else who knows better. I have also found that some of their shared servers run great and some of them seriously bog down at which point I really miss those server stats. I have found that they have some limitations to things you can do that other hosts don't and they have been a bit annoying at times.
I don't like Yahoo. Everything I have ever had to do with them has been a pain.
I don't have much more advice except to make SURE whoever you choose has good customer service!! Make sure they have a working phone number that actually has people answering and isn't just a recording! Don't accept email only tech support when it comes to hosting. Trust me on that one!
