I'm going to add another hosting service provider or 2 in the near future, so I've been digging around for good info and contacting the providers to see their response times and answers.

Here is what I ask them all, to start with:
1 - What year did you begin operations under this business name ??
2 - Where is this service managed from ??
3 - Do you own, lease, or rent your servers ??
4 - Where exactly are your US servers ??
5 - Do you offer free migrations from DirectAdmin hosted sites on another provider ??
6 - Where can I find some POSITIVE reviews of your services (not on your site) ??
7 - Do you have any recurring discounts to offer ??

I got the quickest response from these folks=>
eliteservermanagement

But I went for one of their deals and had to nag them endlessly to get refunded - which was not in full when it finally came - NOT RECOMMENDED.

I have quite a list of providers going, but after a while of looking and asking this is not turning out to be very promising yet, sadly.
I'll post more info as I get it.

I checked interserver very carefully and recently.
Their reviews at Trustpilot reveal them as being terrible.

Also,examining their offers from several different angles revealed some very concerning results.

As such I will neither use them nor recommend them to anyone - they most resemble hostgator and godaddy - some of the worst possible providers..

20i for mainstream, and TMDhosting for adult are worth looking at as well.

Just FYI for anyone who reads this thread=>
I am ONLY posting about 100% legitimate providers here which will be useful in conducting ones business that will rest within the TOU of most providers, meaning:

NOT for spamming - NOT for adult materials - NOT for botting/gaming - NOT for other 100% BH stuff.

Doing any of that at a normal hosting provider's services WILL get your account shut down WITHOUT any option for data recovery or any refund, this is 100% certain, so keep that info in mind.

There ARE providers who cater to spammers, etc. - but they are usually shaky and short-lived.
I have no use for that sort myself.

Thanks so much for this Smithmowit. I've had interserver but my experience was not very good.
