I would really reccomend you do your research before you select a cms host... especially Joomla. The way Joomla is set up you will get issues all out the rear if you r host doesnt have a certain config on their server. This is becasue joomla uploads from the user nobody and then apache restricts access for hacking issues. There are a few people that have joomla freindly hosting including our company http://fade2clear.com. Which is honestly better than anyone else we limit our server to 100 clients and we run dual quads with whm/cpanel. but since im a good guy another host that is joomla/cms friendly is siteground.com
