We have recently co-located our servers in QV1 with a seriously fast pipe to the net and are offering domain, web and mail hosting as well as scripted backups. We are a registrar agent too. Check out http://domains.mactherapy.com/ for pricing and details. Excuse the ugly website, it's being re-skinned soon. Hope you don't mind the self promotion but it seems relevant to this thread.
