I too like HMS support and have been happy with them. I'm also going down the road of multiple clients on a machine at a hosting company but I can't use HMS cause they're a little too pricey for VPS or dedicated. I'm thinking of going with 1&1 because the have dedicated servers at real good prices - $119/month for Windows and $99 for Linux and gets you a nice box with 2GB of RAM. That might help some of you guys looking to pay a little less while having enough horsepower for CF and Farcry. That being said, I've never used 1&1 but they are a huge hosting company so I bet their service is good. Anyone ever used them for dedicated servers?
