My site, open-personals.com is aimed at quite a few different English speaking countries.
If and when the project succeeds, it will also utilize drupal's AMAZING translation capabilities to translate to other languages.

Anyway, I am currenly hosting with DreamHost, and while it looks the server load numbers are fine, it is really slow in some parts of the world.

Is there anybody who's using Servage.net as a host provider? I have some problems with them (my site is not sending every email) I need some tricks from people who use Servage.net

I like their features, but I'm afraid they might over-sell. Any opinions?

They give you a lot of HDD space, for a small price, but that's about it.

The site is slow, I've had numerous problems. They do not give you LOCK IN permissons in MySQL.

Also, if you are going to do anything besides drupal, please note:
- no PHP5, no FastCGI or mod_python, no shell access.

I would suggest you compare dot5hosting to hostmonster. I've never used hostmonster, but I like their features.

Saw some maxiehost ads and thought this was a bit too good to pass up. I am using dwhs.com right now and reasonably happy but thinking of having a back up just in case. Any thoughts?

Oh maxiehost is at http://www. maxiehost.com/us/index.htm They have fantastico so I assume drupal is supported. They require payment by paypal but do allow month to month.

Me and a friend fellow Drupal user and contributor took up a dedicated server 3 months back and have used Xen to create 4 virtual slots. We are currently using only 2 of them and we intend to give the 2 remaining slots to interested people.
You can find the details of the server here:
