But they really suck in reliability- Only have one big server running (ok, the big one from Sun, but after all, only one) and plan to stock up to three... Of course, for that hardware you really need Solaris... Have my domain also hosted there, and sometimes its no fun. But they are famous for not letting you leave by simply not signing the KK-agreement to transfer the domain to another web hoster...
