The above isn't soley aimed at SenseHost, it stemmed from the constant flow of threads stating 'xxxxxxxhost is down' etc etc etc.
I find with smaller hosts you get better support. Larger companies are just bothered about sales, once they've reeled you in they aren't so bothered. That's one reason I go with smaller companies; because they have a smaller user base and are willing to do their bests to keep them happy and provide a good service.
