    Whenever I have looked into a new hosting provider in the past, I have always tested their network for at least a while day to see what sort of latency they can hit during peaks. This tool can be used for this purpose: http://winmtr.net/ sometimes the results will surprise you. Make sure any latency hits are on the target providers router's though and not caused by your ISP or a telecom inbetween.

    I am using their cloud servers over last year. Up time is perfect, speed is fast.
    Support is not perfect, but i get all replies same day as i request them.

    I have three hosts Canadian Web Hosting for the sites I own and run myself, HostGator reseller (new biz) and 1&! CWH and HG are vergood hosts. Brilliant support good value for money. 1&1 was my first host and I had a business plan now I have the basic hosting and just park a few domains on it. Hopefully this year I can dump them completely far too bureacratic for my taste.

    They do have good promo offers. I've used them for a couple of years without a problem... I prefer the interaction with HostGator, but 1&1 hasn't done me wrong.

    1and1 is not worth it.

    I did host WP with them and my blog visitor always complain that they face connection timeout error frequently.

    dailyrazor.com is my favourite since 1 year and I had never thought of changing it,
    since it keeps me tension free and always to be counted.
