Congratulations! It really does make a huge different to host your site at a place whose servers are set up in a way that supports MODX. Seamless transfers, responsive servers, and the correct file permissions are your reward.
To be fair, though, even at friendly hosts, ModSecurity rules can interfere. Each update to server software carries the risk that a new ModSecurity rule will interfere with some way MODX functions. Good hosts are happy to disable these rules for your site, since MODX is not a high target for hackers at this point.
Also, although I don't recommend GoDaddy to anyone if they ask, their cPanel hosting is worlds better than what they had before, and they will disable ModSecurity rules when asked. Maybe you just got some techs who weren't savvy or friendly. I've actually had good experiences with their tech support when needed, although I have only used the Chat version, not telephone. So, if any of your clients MUST stay at GoDaddy, push them to switch to cPanel if they haven't already.
And, Bob, I would add Site5 to your list. They fully support MODX, the server speed is outstanding, and tech support is fast and knowledgeable.

Has anyone in the MODX community carried out a comparison of the service providers in BobRay's list? Is there a list of reviews by MODX users that can be referred to?
@jesseatomic: I for one would be interested to hear which of those hosts you decided to go for, what the deciding factor was and how you get on.
