Liftport used them to host everything up until last year - and they
still host our mail.  My wife's biz was hosted there as well.

I had some issues with them but, really, for the price you're paying the
service and features ain't bad and better than most.  I had to remind
the folks here that they're miles and miles better and cheaper than our
previous host.

If you have a business critical system then dh is probably not your
long-term best solution.

We moved because a) we got a better offer b) the server is co-located
and owned by one of the guys who works for us.
