Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I would like to know what hosts others use, and about how much they pay per month? I am currently on a shared hosting plan and pay about $90 a year with ixwebhosting, one of the things I love about them is they allow you to host unlimited domains, each with a unique Dedicated IP.
The thing I hate about them, is there MySql server is extreamly slow, and my website seems to be down more then it is up.
I really don’t like moving hosting, and I dont want to make the same mastake again, so I am looking for a good quality web host, with uptime, and speed. If I have to spend a little extra that is fine as my sites have been making some money now and I would like to reinvest into them. One thing I do want is the host to offer unique Dedicated IPs, as I currently have 7 sites.
I know HostGator, and others charge $3-$4 extra a month, per Dedicated IP. That is getting a little pricey, as I have 7, on top of the hosting fees.
If I have to spend the extra money I will, but if anyone can make a recommendation to a quality web host, with good uptime and speed, that would be even better.
I own online casino affiliate websites. IE: onlinecasinos-usa.com
My currently (3 year plan) expires in 15 days, and I am looking for USA hosting.
Umm…. help…

I would like to get more clients for my wedding caketoppers business. which is the best place to start looking for affiliates (whether they are associated in the wedding business themselves or just random people who can recommend it to their friends and earn some extra money).
are forums the best approach? or would that be considered as spamming?
thanks

I don’t have a lot of money, but I’m alright at art. I need to make some extra money.. not necessarily make a living, but just a little extra, what are some ideas that are simple to make, uncommon and stuff that sells. Please be specific. Thank you. I do report spam, so no links unless it refers to the answer.
