We've run into problems with sites running on Site5, where they claimed Drupal was using too much server resources, even with virtually no traffic. However, others have been running sites on Site5 with no problem so our experience does not seem to have been typical.
Our experience with Drupal on Dreamhost is that the performance was slow. Their webservers are aces, but their database servers seemed to be slow. Maybe that has changed. I've been with Dreamhost for some 10 years now, since they were a much smaller operation, and use them for other things besides Drupal.
The hosting question comes up quite a bit on the forums. I'd suggest doing a search and reading the threads there. Many people share their experiences with various hosts.

I use site5 and am running a few Drupal sites. I couldn't tell you whether they support it or not, though, because I have no need for my host to support Drupal since I don't use Fantastico or any other of the type to install it.
You might want to consider installing Drupal yourself then you don't need to worry about what your host does. :)

My hosting company dropped and will no longer support Drupal when the new upgrade came out. Does anyone have recommendations on hosting companies that allow unlimited domains that will support Drupal?
