I've taken a look at your site: I would classify you among the premium providers. :-) I would agree that one has to be cautious with respect to lower-cost providers: it helps to inquire about them and to look for recommendations.

This said, there are a number of reliable, lower-cost providers out there if one wants to save some money. C.
