You should post your requirements. There are many different forumlae for what you want and some providers are stronger in one suit while weaker in another.

Just because they are big and publicly traded doesn't mean they are good or right for your needs.

Asking about "top hosting companies" is like asking about "top colleges". Yes, some are obviously better than others, and there is probably a small set of known names that you want to choose from. HOWEVER, within that set of trustworthy, known names, the one that will be "best" for you will depend on the details of your preferences, your needs, and your goals. And just like with a college, if your needs and desires are sufficiently outside the normal curve, the "best" hosting company for you might not be one of the ones that everyone else recommends. So I recommend taking the advice of anything that anyone mentioned here, of course, but then using that only as a starting point for doing your own research. The one that I would add to the list of items for you to consider: pair.com They have a wide variety of levels, they are very "friendly" for developers (in that you can customize and tweak most installations and server settings yourself), and have good customer support.
