Windows Hosting - IndicHosts

I have been trying to figure out Windows hosting as described in my thread:http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=741985
To end off the saga and for the benefit of the WHT community, I will make 5 threads about some hosts that caught my interest to collect information and any thoughts/opionions/experiences/comments that anyone might have on each host:http://www.arvixe.com/asp_net_web_hostinghttp://www.reliablesite.net/v3/index.asphttp://www.softsyshosting.com/http://aspnix.com/http://www.indichosts.net/network_lo...ing/index.html
I will add some posts on IndicHosts for this thread.http://www.indichosts.net/network_lo...ing/index.html

Notes: A weak sounding offering except they have set up their hosting infrastructure the way I would design hosting:
(Quoted from their web site)
Windows hosting with network load balancing:
Domain is hosted on a dynamic load balanced cluster, with services spread-over five server appliances. The cluster has twin web-servers, twin mail-servers and one database server, with additional server in hot-spare to handle load spikes. This ensures your website handles high loads seamlessly, at very high speeds.
IndicHosts.net's state-of-the-art network-load-balanced clustering technology enables groups of servers to work in unison to handle web, e-mail and other vital services. Our system tracks the performance of the servers in each cluster in real-time, sending new traffic requests to the server that is currently handling the least number of requests, and also responding the fastest to new requests. If one of the servers in a cluster is too slow, or not responding at all, requests are sent on to other servers in the cluster, making sure requests are handled quickly and correctly, without any break in service.
(each) Windows Cluster has five Dual Opteron server appliances, each with 4GB RAM and SCSI drives in RAID-1 configuration.
(end of quote)
It seems to me that this solves one of the potential disadvantages of shared hosting: That one bad customer can hog all the resources from another...
