Matt, I've seen the other posts referring you to several hosting companies. I would like to make one other suggestion. That is to purchase your own server then have the people at Midas Networks (a local Austin company) host it and manage it for you. I'll grant that it is more expensive then the desired range you listed but it has the benefit of not having things change on the server without your being aware of the changes. I went this route several years ago after a company which offered reseller hosting changed their security and email handling. At that time I had a client accuse me a sabotaging their site because the forms that were suppose to send out emails stopped working due to the changes. Everything was finally straightened out but if left some bad feelings between my client and myself, the loss of the client and loss of potential referrals from that client.
Since moving to Midas Networks, I have never experienced that because they notify me of any updates that would need to be made prior to making them so that I can check if there will be any issues. I opted to do some of the management myself, that is creating new clients and accounts on the server and let Midas Networks manage the security and updates as necessary.
