I'll throw my hat in for CrystalTech. I've had some VERY MINOR issues with dumbass tech support people (but I've never seen an business with a truly effective dumbass filter).
Aside from that however: 1) They are incredibly communicative and I prize this highly. Every little upgrade is communicated and explained. Any issues with upgrades are fully detailed in a no BS way. If they're at fault, they'll tell you. For example about a year ago a code-red spawn infected some of their customer's co-located machines. However since the machines shared some network infrastructure with (properly patched) virtual server hosts there was a performance impact. This was communicated directly and within a day or two the two network classes were completely separated. 2) They are very clear about their prices and policies. For example they recently lowered all their prices because, as they announced, they have completed planned network expansion. 3) They are very good about security patches and pro-actively inform customers of issues which may affect them. 4) They are constantly adding value. They recently added SQL Server to some smaller plans without raising the prices. They're currently in the process of upgrading the email server and stats servers (many hosts just languish at old versions). The big part of this is communication. Most hosts I've dealt with simply don't talk to you. You call up asking why your site is down and they answer "we're applying a service pack". That's unforgivable in my opinion - send me a freakin' email BEFORE hand!
