We have been using HostForWeb for many years, and every once in a while we'd try somebody else, including big names as MediaTemple. We sitll stick to HFW, for the value. It is possible to find better support, but for WAY more money, and i mean a LOT more. As for network speed, hardware and software, there's not too much of a difference. They all use major US Tier1 datacenters.

So, in our "poweruser" experience HFW is not bad at all and we do recommend them for that very reason.
