A little earlier I was looking for a reliable host with a good track record to host my website, forums and helpdesk offsite. I began my search looking at spirithosting since they used the extremely reliable RackSpace datacenter. However they couldn't fit my needs. So I was back to searching. Luckily another user referred me to Simpli.
After looking around I saw that Simpli had some pretty nice deals going on (Still do actually ) so I gave it a shot and signed up. Afterall, I have owed Erica some business for about two years now. Needless to say immediately after signing up I had Erica contacting me on IM thanking me for the order and telling me it was about time. Account was setup near instant, and after propagation I was good to go. Had one simple support request that was answered in almost no time by Brandon. In the short time that I've been there the AboveNet network has been wicked fast, and the Dual Xeon servers have been able to match that, with server loads usually in the .20 mark.
Then ... Erica had to go and run some more deals for some dedicated servers. Not only did I snatch up one, but I had to snatch up two it was such a nice deal, especially with the added discount that Erica gave me for purchasing multiple servers. With amount of money she's making me spend, you'd almost think we were dating. So far the dedicated experience has just been just as good as my brief shared hosting experience. The first server was up and running about 2 hours after I placed the order, with all the necessary software installed and configured. I just ordered the second server (it's actually for an employee of mine) and I imagine her team will have it up and running just as quick.
As a competitor, I definitely have to give her respect. She runs a top notch operation over there, and if you're looking for shared or dedicated's, I recommend looking her way.
