Hi Andy,

I use supergreenhosting.com

You can get SSH access and the web panel allows you to do a one-click 
install of many different CMS.

If you do decide to join one tip is to fill in the application form but 
not submit - you will be an email offer within a few hours for more 
money off.

Support has always been excellent via a live chat system which means no 
waiting around to get answer or 'take a ticket' system.

Regards, Mark.
