Hi, I have no interests in either one of these companies, but I have been a customer of both and I would strongly discourage anyone from taking a server at easyspeedy. I've had a very bad experience with them, the network being very unstable for days and them refusing to admit their responsability and trying to convince me that my ISP was the problem, even when evidences were pointing to them. Shit happens, but refusing to acknowledge a mistake and let a problem sit for days is just not a professional way of handling PR's and establishing trust ... I've been a customer of Layeredtech for years and they were doing the work correctly until I needed a hardware upgrade. Things were planned to limit the downtime, however they dealt very bad with it and didn't follow the plans causing nearly two days of downtime. So I'd say they are great if you don't have critical services running, and need to be able to change infrastructure. I've been at m5hosting for the last few months and so far they're way better than what I've seen elsewhere. Maybe just a bit too expensive, if you compare the hardware with what you can get elsewhere, but they do seem to know what they're doing. Gilles -- Gilles Chehade http://www.poolp.org/~gilles/
