That's not really the best deal but HTTPme.COM (I'm also a customer of theirs) is the Mercedes Benz of webhosting, if I have something critical I definitely host it on HTTPme.COM I have 100% confidence in their team especially our cult leader, Aussie Bob :D

However there are other webhosts which offer a lot more for less such as 2.5GB webspace and 45GB for $20.25/mo.

actually, I view httpme as the budget webhost, recently they had DOS attacks and my sites went down twice. My other host never missed a beat. Plus HTTPME doesn't offer SSH acess. Also, they only give you two IPs. For my important sites, I cough up the $25 and get the Unix Developer plan at communitech, they are huge company and almost never go down.

I see things differently.

When there were rampant DDOS attacks last weekend my forums (hosted by AddAction.net) were either offline or VERY SLOW. Meanwhile HTTPme.COM and my sites hosted with them were up and online, a little sluggish but they were working. I realize that the downtime is no one's fault except for the idiots who caused the DDOS attacks to begin in the first place.

For me there are two kinds of webhost providers:
1) The best in the class, HTTPme.COM, Voxtreme, United Hosting, etc.
2) All others

Which server # are you on?

Are you using Plesk or Ensim control panel?

Exactly what kind of project?

Do you have an IRC client (such as mIRC)?

Have you browsed Dixiesys's forums yet? http://forums.dixiesys.com/
