Looking for a web host

Yeah so i'm looking to develop a new website again and need a new host. I'm not looking to spend extreme amounts of money however as it's likely to start off as a more customised blog/portfolio place before expanding into something else. In other words i'd like to have my own web host rather than using places such as blogger, wordpress etc. So that I have room to expand.

I've been looking at the web hosting group www.arvixe.com They were recommended to me by somebody a while back, but i've been rather wary because of their so called "unlimited" offer of web space and bandwith. I'm wondering just exactly what that means because I don't for a minute believe it means unlimited. Their offer however of $4/month (or actually $7/month since the $4 one is if you buy a 2 year subscription) sounds quite appealing, but I thought i'd ask people here if they have any experience with hosting groups and could pass me a couple of recommendations.

As I say i'm not looking for anything too costly, but I would like something that would give me the ability to expand etc.

Thanks!

    Here are some reviews I found - http://www.webhostingjury.com/reviews/Arvixe
    Looks like people are happy with the service.

    As for me, I use Godaddy for one site and am not too happy with the response times - http://thintheherd.info
    I do like the Godaddy interface and support has been good but sometimes the delays are irratating.

    I have another site on a special 1st amendment hosting service. http://www.swindledforjesus.com
    Due to the content no major hosting company would host it. I pay a lot to host it but the website rewards me with people finding out about this person before they hand him any money.
