Very solid and long-standing provider.
They target their offer a bit differently than other providers and this puts off some people, who don't appreciate the tradeoffs.
The details and tradeoffs are a bit too many to list here, but basically when they can cut corners to lower prices, while still keeping server-grade performance and uptime, they do not hesitate to do it.
It's also a bare metal / every server for itself / full DIY offering, without expensive gear such as SAN, blade servers and such. So if you're not prepared to roll your own virtualization, failover, backup, provisioning, etc solutions, you are better off going somewhere else.
That being said, the network service and server specs you get per your buck are second to none. The support is also adequate, if you understand the limitations of their offering.
Source: been a customer for 10+ years, currently have 10 servers with LXC and ZFS-on-Linux, hosting 100s of websites, mail domains, and custom applications, including a full backup solution based on ZFS send / recv. Would cost me a fortune on any other provider.
