    so I've narrowed down to 2 hosts that seem appealing...

    Which one would you choose??

    http://www.alphaomegahosting.com/

    I woudl personally pick alphaomega because the other company can't design there own website and had to steal someone elses so you know that you can never trust a theft.

    just my opinion...

    I started with Alpha Omega last month.

    Customer support is excellent, even on weekend evenings.

    My sites have been running fine.

    Well, as far as I can see anhosting.com only has one graphic in common with mediatemple.net. So before you make such an accusation it would be good to show a source. I did not find anything here.

    in common? this image has been ripped about a gazillion times before.. i mean the images is the same exact size and the only parts that are screwed up on it is the parts where another image is supposed to carry over the rest of it.. i am sorry but I cant see where much more proff is needed.. i did not say a site rip i said a theft meaning taking something without permission in this case a image.. which again has allready been ripped a million times.. just another to the list.. if i were looking for hosting I would want to be made aware of this.. hey my website design is horrible but i dealt with what i had instead of going out and stealing someone elses work..

    This has been brought up a million times, and people have already confirmed that the picture of the cable comes from a picture CD available on the net.

    With that being said, I would think anhosting would be just as competent at the next.

    To me it did sound as when you have meant a rip-off. Anyway, I dont think anyone knows whether mediatemple.net was the creator of the image so they might be just as "bad". However I would neither call a webhoster a thieve nor would I distrust them, just because they uses a commonly used picture (even if it had been "stolen" at some point).

    Definitely, however I doubt everyone ripped everyone else off in this case. These are just common layouts and so they might look similar. Even if someone "ripped-off" some ideas (not entire designs) I would not really complain as such a copying is usual in the IT business.

    Just out of curiosity. How do you know mediatemple.net didn't take the graphic from anhosting.com?

    I suppose it's possible, but mediatemple's been around since the dawn of time. I don't think they are likely to go around ripping (and repairing) graphics from hosts that like 3 people have heard of.

    Alexander !!

    Well down man ! Very nice and well written. Surely I agree with Alexander. C'mon guys... another friend mentioned, this image is being on a CD and is accessible to everyone. Doesn't mean if a famous or well known hosting provider used it, other shouldn't.

    Can you afford paying US$ 5000 per 5 images to be especially deigned for your web site ? If so, let me know and I refer you to the best once, which will take amazing pictures of servers and design you kinda images related to web hosting.

    God will judge !
