Pardon me if this is improper, but I've been trying to see if I could find any information regarding a few web hosts I've been researching and thinking of using.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with:

Best1Hosting.net

SuperWebHost.com

or

f5hosting.com (I read the searched pages about them, but all of the posts seemed to be very old).

Also, has anyone had experience with VenturesOnline.com recently? The posts concerning them are old as well (as far as I could see).

Editing my post just to add that I'm looking for virtual unix/linux hosting right now, not dedicated (as the differences would probably mean different recommendations). I need around 500Mb disk space, at least 100 POP3 accounts (not that I use that many - but it's nice to have them) and the ability to host multiple domains within one account (sub-aliased to directories, not just parked at the main site). I also need PHP, CGI, and SSI.

Thanks for your help. Of course, if anyone is actually happy with their host, I'd like some recommendations, too. Most of the posts on boards like this tend to attract mostly bad reviews, it seems.

This is not improper at all! WHT is the perfect place for asking/requesting things like this!

Although I never had personal experience with any of the hosts you've mentioned, I'd like to give you the all-around WHT welcome!!! :D

I believe there are alot of folks at WHT who has personal experience with venturesonline.com ... and I believe F5Hosting.com is a frequent WHT member ;) so im guessing you should get some good responses in regarding to your question ;)

I am with f5 and will say that I have not one complaint, they are very much like a family, treating all the costumers as if they were, good policy. The speed is great and the tech support is very helpful, they will even do it for you, no charge. All the extras included and so on, but anyway...check them out I believe you will see for your self, I have enjoyed my stay with them. but don't rush into anything look arround
