I'm interested in using their Pro Plan to host an e-commerce website. The plan features provide what I am looking for in a host. I've done a lot of searching for reviews regarding this company but have found very little.

Any thoughts on this company would be greatly appreciated! :)

Aussie Bob, thank you for the links. :)

I, of course, already googled this company and searched this forum. I've also been to several web hosting review websites. The only reviews that I have seen of this company are one provided by CNET and the one provided by Joel.

I plan on contacting a few companies that are listed in Google as using Advances.com for their web hosting to see how they rate the service of Advances.com.

However, I am still curious to hear the opinions of webhostingtalk.com users. :)

Or, if anyone can recommend a web hosting service that provides the following minimum requirements:

*20MB Disk Space Usage
*8-10GB Transfer with the option of upgrading the virtual hosting plan or switching to a dedicated server
*CGI Scripting
*FrontPage extensions
*T3 lines w/ redundant backbone connections
*5 e-mail aliases
*Efficient and reliable support
*A reasonable number of sites are hosted on my shared server
*Very good to excellent up-time record
*Self-administrating control panel
*Weekly backup
*Connections set up for load balancing
*Multiple high capacity connections to the Internet, configured for fault tolerance

Again, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. :D
