Please recommend good hosting providers like ASO

Good hosting providers which can cost around 10$ a month.

Thanks.

$10 a month isn't much for quality hosting. I've had lots of trouble even when paying $20 - $30 per month.

That being said everyone raves about HostGator (http://www.hostgator.com), I've never used them but see they have some lower priced plans

I'm generally happy with iPowerWeb (http://partners.ipower.com/z/51/CD6066/).

The package I'm using currently is the Pro Plan at $7.95 USD per month:

Feature Summary
50 GB / 2,500 Emails
750 GB of Bandwidth
1 FREE Domain Name
SSL / CGI / PHP / MySQL
E-Commerce Enabled
Marketing / Content Package
$30 Google™ Credit*
$50 Yahoo!® Credit
Website Builder & Templates
Host 6 Domains in 1

I have a list of some good ones here: Web hosts for your vBulletin Forum (http://www.vbulletin-faq.com/web-hosting.htm)

I put this list together based on recommendations from here, vbwebmaster, vb.com and vb.org.

My plan is to start around 50 web directories placed on atleast 10 different hosts, where I am gonna have a 3 way linking :)

Yup -Im working on a similar plan, but with blogs.

Cross question, but what blog software are you planning to use here ?
I am going to use phpld directory script.

Wordpress. Simple and easy - lots of free plugins / themes, quick install

I am quite happy with (mt) MediaTemple.
