imountain (iron mountain) hosting
I have been a client of imountain since november 2007 after having my resource intensive wordpress blog hosted and suspended on numerous shared plans. I first started with a shared plan at imountain and was amazed at how well my blog ran. Using a clustered setup imountain delivered fast results. I have since moved to a semi dedicated plan which is just simply amazing. I have 5 servers in my cluster with yet another memcache server with only around 10 to 15 clients on the entire cluster. Blog has managed to have 269 concurrent connections without even slowing down a bit. Server load has always been 1.50 and lower which is excellent considering the webserver has 4 cores. most time the load is 0.50 or less even with 200 people online.
Support with imountain is also the best. Most if not all tickets are answered in minutes with a real response, not some canned message. Responses are thorough and problems always rectified. Not to mention they go above and beyond helping with things that are not really their problem nor would any other host even think about helping with.
I whole recommend imountain to anyone looking for a reliable, honest and superior host. Biggest Pro: Support and Clustered Setup Biggest Con: HSPHERE not CPanel.
