5GB/100GB, unmetered mysql+ftp+email, and *usual goodies* like cpanel, fantastico etc ...

i've been so impressed with their service, i'm hosting 3 sites with them.

I was going to host with them a while back. But I started hearing bad things about them, so I ultimately went with ASO. But I'm glad things are working out for you. :)

Personally, it seems a bit risky to me, but if it works for you, then I'm glad to hear it.

well, to be honest, i've dealt with several hosts and it wasn't plesant.

globat - its a funny story, okay, i was being greedy and fell for a so called "rebate" and signed up for a year. cool. i logged into my account but next morning, there was nothing. i inquired and found out that they needed confirmation by phone of my order so they could "activate" my account. I asked, did you charge my card? obviously they did! pissed i was, i told them to cancel my account immediately. i don't like sneaky business.

after 4 months of drama, i got my money back, not full refund but i got most of it back.

ipowerweb - they renewed my account automatically even after I had called to cancel my account. after lot of email exchange, (btw, you can't reach them over phone.. consider urself lucky if u can ), they promised to return money which...i never got..

i inquired and found out that they needed confirmation by phone of my order so they could "activate" my account. I had this fun with RackForce. They took my money and then decided to mention they needed to ring me. I refused to give them my home number and gave them my work number. They claimed to have rung this several times with no response, could I give them my home number. I refused and demanded my money back, which eventually I got. I checked the system logs at work for the number I gave them and guess what, no one had rung it ......
