IMPORTANT: I no longer recomend Fused Hosting. The great staff of Fused had to sell due to their evergrowing schedule. The new owners have created a lot of problems. I shall let you know if they are able to regain the reputation that Fused had.
Everybody with a website, blog, forum or anything else has a host somewhere that usually gets given money for keeping it running. My host is actually a sponsor of mine, so I do not pay them, yet they are the best hosts that I have ever had.
Fused Hosting has a staff of 5 young people, including the twins whom founded it, that work there alongside their education and possibly a job as well. I expected the hosting to be smooth and rarely go down, my expectations were fulfilled. But what amazes me is that every time I make a mistake, be it with coding or mucking around in the database, they always help fix it and teach me how to do it properly for the next time.
Today you may have noticed that Success Circuit was inaccessible for a long period of time, this is because I was working on integrating a forum with the blog. Somehow it mixed up the database so badly that the MySQL had to be restarted. Then once we could access the database we realised that everything had been corrupted. I had no backups. So Joe, one of the founders, accessed the daily backups and repaired some crashed tables. So now, after all of that… we are back!!
I would like to thank Joe, Jack and the rest of the team for their dedication to customer satifaction. I have never had such a good host.
Now we are back I shall get back to writing posts!

Excellent service. Always shout about it when somethings good! Too many take good service for granted and only like to moan and shout about the bad!
So true. It is amazing how such a small team, of young people with no strong funder backing them, can be so successful. If you can make people shout about how good you are then surely that is success?
Thank you for the positive post about our company Shane. We look after all our clients like they’re family.
Thanks again.

You certainly do. One day Fused Hosting will be known as the best customer service people around.
I've started using slicehost for my hosting, and so far I am very impressed. I have a virtual machine with them, and I'm finding the performance much more predictable than with my old shared hosting provider.
Slicehost also have a *huge* number of tutorials. Probably the best stuff I have seen on setting up your hosting.
