I have around 1 year with Lace Host (lacehost.com), the website/user interface are crappy but it doesn't matter since you have Cpanel and FTP.

They are cheap (around $22 for 1.5 GB hosting / year). You have got unlimited Mysql DataBases, Very large bandwidth and an always (almost) online customer service (it's the owner, he'll reply to your questions even if it's not hosting related).

Overall experience: Positive. I'm running 4 websites (on 4 domains). 3 blogs, 1 personal website and a bunch of auto-scripts that runs via Cron Jobs. I get around 250 hits daily.

+ I got around 1,100 hit from Stumble Upon (i got a fav from a popular member) and the host seemed to be fine with that traffic.

Currently, I'm keeping with them, for scaling, the admin told me that they can move me from shared to private server in no down time.

My advice will be: Go for it! You can also Google for reviews about it.

He probably just has a WHMap account setup on one of liquidweb.com's dedicated servers. That'll work fine, but hopefully he really is able to move you over to a private server without any snags.

Hello, I am the owner or LaceHost. We host our company website offsite on a vps with Liquidweb. Our shared hosting servers, power distribution units and network switches are completely owned by us and located in our private cabinet at the Uberbandwidth datacenter in NC, USA. We also have 3 support operators and 8 technicians working round the clock. Also, we use WHMCS and not WHMAP :)

Thank you, Ishan

So why don't you use your own server to host your site?

I think he's doing that to mislead websites that track hosts uptime, like that his main site never run down.
