When banshee first went .com we plumped for [href]www.active-venture.com[/href]. The service was ok and the connections and bandwidth allowed sustained a small freeware site no problem.
As we grew we outstripped their ability to host us, and [href]www.vapournet.com[/href] seemed the best of the next tier of hosting deals.

God created the world in 7 days, but we're still waiting for the patch.
