need a reliable PHP host

Hi everyone - I need suggestions for a reliable PHP/mySQL host that has cURL support WITH https capability. The site is e-commerce, but is mainly a statistics site that relies on frequent mysql requests, rather than numerous transactions. The only transaction is the site subscription fee. I could also use suggestions for a reliable Credit Card processor. If anyone has experience with this and can point me in the right direction, I would REALLY appreciate it. I'm having alot of trouble with shoddy hosting and a terrible cc processor right now, I really need to know which direction to take. Thanks - Doug
