I spent about a month looking for a host to host a site that was growing quite quickly. I tried a few hosts but some used outdated PHP/MySQL versions, some didn't allow remotely hosted services and some just didn't seem great. I spent about $30 trying several hosts and testing their support tickets but I finally came across:
http://www.synhosting.com/
Now I have been with them for over a month now, nearly two (which I know is rather short term so far, but I'm bearing in mind the accounts of so far and will update this in a few months). I have to say they are pretty awesome.
When I signed up my account was created promptly and they even copied my account across from my old server without any hassle and no excuses like "WHM won't let us" which some lazy hosts in my testing period told me.
So far I've proberbly submitted 10 support tickets and not one of them have i had to wait more than 10 mins for a reply. Most are answered straight away! They get exactly what I want everytime even when sometimes my requests are very technical.
Their server hasn't been down once yet and so far I am one very satisfied customer. I'd recommend their service to everyone!
