I was with Dim8 for a few days last year. They never got my subdomains up and running, and since most of my traffic went to a subdomain, I had to run.

I'm with GearHost (http://www.gearhost.com) and couldn't be happier. Service is great, features are awesome and their control panel rules! My speed is VERY fast as well. Sorry don't know about the others...

Either GearHost or DomiNET...this is kinda out of bounds, but does anyone use a mac in here? If so, whats the best ftp program for it?

Thanks

I don't own a mac but I've heard that Fetch is good from some mac clients of ours. It's located at http://fetchsoftworks.com/.

I compared several hosts and selected Dominet a couple of months ago, and I have not had any problems and I've been happy with their service. The uptime (well, I guess they have always been up since I've had an account --- so I guess that doesn't say too much) and speed have been better than the performance I received with previous hosts.

I use RBrowser and Transmit X. Here's a list of a bunch of FTP apps.

Hope that helps!

This is quite new to me! May I inquire what domain ?

Totally independant from the post above...

I have 3 sites with Dim8 and they have been terrific on support. They seem like they can't do enough to help when I've had a problem. So... I'm a little confused by the earlier negative post. Sure doesn't sound like the company that I've been doing business with.
