Where Can I find a Web Host with Good Customer Service for MySQL Users?

I need a Web Host that provides good telephone customer service by people who actually know what they're talking about when it comes to SQL, htaccess files and the like. My current provider has reasonable basic customer service for everyday users but they are worse than useless when it comes to more complicated problems. They literally will not let me (or any customer) talk directly with the few people (their off-limit "techs") who know anything about these topics. I know there are many reviews of Web hosts online, but the problem is there are so many that I don't know who to trust or where to begin looking for a new host. Price is not a huge option with me, since I'm at the point where I would gladly pay double my current hosting fee just to know my site was "in the hands" of people who were willing (and knew how) to help me when problems arise. Thanks for any guidance! Brian

1. I've been using GoDaddy for years. I've been in the computer game since before the internet, but there are times when I go brain-dead (and I know the answers to the simple questions). They've not only led me by the hand, but they didn't make me feel stupid. I write code to interface MySQL - and maintain a few servers - every day. When I forgot that I had to create a database before I could use it ... picture the face next to the definition of 'moron' in the dictionary - but they helped me create the database with no comment. (But I'll bet there was a lot of snickering going on in their office.)
