I'm sorry to hear about your problems, but this is not new with shared hosting. I went through it with PDAPhoneHome in the early days.. 7 or 8 years ago. Any of the low cost shared hosting companies are probably going to do this. If they are charging a really low price for a lot of resources, then they are doing it by jamming 500-1000 sites on each server. The vast, vast majority of sites use very little server resource and never have a problem. The way they keep the server performing well for the many, is to kick out the few that actually do have an active site. CPU/Memory utilization and bandwidth are what is going to get you booted, not number of users and disk space. With static sites these are generally never a problem. If you are doing something like a forum that uses MySQL, then a minimal amount of success will have you looking for a new hosting provider. If you have a site like this, then you will probably keep fighting this problem until you move to a dedicated server... which has its own share of issues to contend with. What are you running on the site?

With my hosting company, :: Pure Web Hosting :: Hosting With Integrity :: Small Business Hosting :: I charge $20/month for 1G... but I don't oversell my servers. You run on a server that has a few dozen accounts, not hundreds or even 1000.
