Don't bother with them if you want anything more then a personal site. Their slowness and downtime will eat any commercial site alive. I'm a long time member but I can't use them for more then my blog and photos (I have lots and lots - more then 10 gigs and that would fill up most vps's) because when it comes to sites for other people you'll just loose customers. I'm editing to add that I'm looking for a way to move my gallery (10+ gigs of photos) over to slicehost with a mounted "S3 volume" I'm not sure of the performance hits, but I'm willing to bet I'll get a faster site out of it.

With what they charge I don't see how you could even assume it's rock solid hosting. I have an account I use for backups and have no complaints. They are asking for a 10 spot in exchange for a year of hosting and a free domain name. Put it in perspective, that's less than the cost of a pizza.

That should be very, very obvious based on the cost. However, I guess it's good to repeat it because it's apparently not obvious to some people. For what you're paying, it's actually a fine value. It's only for toy sites and such, but it's good to have a place for toy sites.
