I run about 10 Websites including my Toplist on http://hostupon.com/ I've not had problems with them and been with them for over 3 years.
http://www.1and1.com is pretty good and not expensive.

Anytime you see "host unlimited domains on unlimited disk space with unlimited bandwidth" for under $4 per month.... well I will say no more and let the future decide 
Common sense indicates those servers are drastically oversold and any busy website will be suspended. Those type of hosts are suited for low traffic, static sites. But best of luck!

Generally speaking sure, but lets add some clarity.
It really depends on your site (how many queries and what type of processes are spawned) just think about a topsite for a moment... every member on your site will load your button (usually site wide). If your counting pageviews or showing rankings on your buttons that means every visitor to every one of your members sites will result in several MySQL queries being made on your server (never mind the apache request your server will handle everytime your members get a pageview). So if you have only 3 members but they are popular websites (lets say each of your members gets 10K per day) your shared hosting account will need to make 50,000+ MySQL queries per day for each member. You might only get 50 unique visitors a day with 3 members, but your server CPU/RAM usage is through the roof... even though your using very little bandwidth and diskspace.
This is why there were 100,000+ Aardvark topsites 5 years ago and only 15,000 or so today. Spammers (sohbet from Turkey) crushed sooo many hosts and brought down most small - mid sized topsites.
Shared hosting on a large server with a limited number of accounts can handle far more than 10K/month. But hosts who promise the world for a couple dollars do not want topsites or popular websites.
This is why VisioList has an option for zero MySQL queries (dont show ranks, dont count pageivews) for users who have topsites that make little or no money, this can save a ton of server resources and perhaps keep you in a shared hosting environment longer. Otherwise button.php to most shared hosting companies is basically a perfect example of a DDOS attack. I know this all to well, 5 years ago I hosted 40,000+ topsites and was forced to shut down the topsite hosting program from constant attacks and need for full time server admins monitoring connections. Now with VisioList I have built in smarter functions into button.php and improved and optimized my hosting environment specifically for this purpose.
In short, if your topsite is not making money yet, consider using text links as the backlink option and don't count pageviews. You can run a gigantic list with that option and save a ton of money on hosting. If you plan on counting pageviews and using dynamic buttons, you need to get a good host.
