Top Web Hosting Sites

I have been considering getting my own web hosting to do a different style of blog. I have heard of several different places such as Godaddy to do this on, but not sure what way to go with it. Today I found an article about top web hosts. These provide Joomla with the hosting, but I am not even sure I would need something like that with it.

Does anyone have any advice on who they use? Who do you like for web hosting?
