If you just need shared hosting, I recommend WH4L.  After trying 3 other hosting services, WH4L has provided the best support, and DNN know-how of any of them.  They're quick to respond and seem more than willing to help with any problems--not just DNN, but sql, FrontPage, OSCommerce, htaccess, and anything else I've thrown at them.

WH4L might be great for some but I like to call it WH$L.  Lots of added charges for any changes.

I still have a WH4L account but don't use it for anything since I've moved to a dedicated server to host my DNN sites. The only problem was it was slow, and the app pool appeared to recycle a lot or recycle slowly -- but IMO all shared hosting is slow and unreliable. If you need mission critical websites, go with a dedicated server. I have one I run about 10 websites max on and split the cost with a few clients / friends. These hosting companies who put 100's of sites and databases on one server are completely ripping you off.

I'm in the process of converting my website to DNN format and i need a host provider that won't charge me a lot of hidden fees or have bandwidth limits!

And i've found out one Hosting provider to rule out. DotNetPark is off my short list because they have a download limit for files,flash,video, etc. YOU WILL BE CHARGED!...While DotNetPark may be great for novice or non multimedia site packages its not great for me.

This is because my site has a lot of animation and streaming video. Here is a sample from my website.
1)Opening homepage animation: http://www.extremefx.net
2)Streaming video samples of my work: http://www.extremefx.net/specialFX.asp

So far PowerDNN has been added to my short list of potential Host providers because they were very receptive to my needs when i asked some preliminary questions. AND THEY DON'T CHARGE for flash,video, etc bandwidth usage!

For regular websites DotNetPark is probably the way to go but for a Flash,video or tutorial animiation site Power DNN seems to be the clear front runner if you don't want extra bandwidth fees.
