You are correct Kay... Actually, Cyberhost were the original company (now back in business as Dedicated Hosting). I have been using them for years now. Early last year Cynerhost were bought by iAsiaWorks and then towards the end of the year, OzHosting bought all the Virtual Server Business from iAsia Works.... This is when it all went horribly wrong for us. OzHosting, were shocking. Customer Service was terrible, and it took several weeks to try and get another server set up. Dedicated Hosting then came about, mainly dealing with co-lo stuff, and after hearing about the hassles their former clients had with OzHosting, they started up offering virtual servers. I've subsequently moved all my clients back, and couldn't be happier. OzHosting also cut services off without warning!
Dedicated Hosting are worth a look, IMO. (I don't work for them!!!!)
