I'm using AHP, too. Everything may not be instant and 24/7, but you can't be the price for cutting-edge hardware and good specs on the account at a price of $69.99 per month.
I even checked into hostmysite recently for a VPS with CF8, but the least expensive was $120 per month and if you run over the 400 GB per month transfer for a few consecutive months, they force you to move to a dedicated server for at least $400 per month. With AHP, I can get a second VPS with 250 GB of transfer for another $70 per month and still on spend $20 month per month and hostmysite and have 500 GB per month transfer. Cost/Benefit...
