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?
