Any good, reliable web hosting with great support?

[MR. Paradise]

Hey guys,
I am really trying to avoid going with a major web host that throws money into advertising with false review sites and such.
But I literally cannot find any legit site that shows trustworthy reviews.
I'm looking for a shared hosting service for a friend. Requirements: 40 gigs of space, GOOD uptime, easy to use control panel, great support.
What can you say about NerionVPS web hosting solutions? Can I trust them or will you recommend me any alternative for comparison?
Thanks.

Have a look at VPS accounts from decent hosting companies: libertyvps.net and legionbox.com.
Excellent hosting, always support in touch. And resolve all issues within 10-15 minutes.. At that, it's free!
Reliable hosting. No interruptions, errors or problems in operation.
