I have used iserver for about the last 4-5 years. In addition to
Stas's mod_perl guide he has a lot of info on his site for
webmasters. Some of Stas's other webmaster info is on the iserver
site with credits and links to his site.
I sent an email (see below) to iserver telling them that Stas was
going to publish the article. They responded to me but apparently
never followed up. iserver has been bought out at least 2 times I
think; they've probably got too many "employees".
I think Martin did an excellent job in describing their services. I've
been more than happy with iserver although in a few cases recently
they've made changes without informing us customers in advance
(and so sites went down through no fault of our own). I think the
key is that the sites cannot be too active.

At iserver I've created (umm ... used a lot of cpan :) some nice
applications in mod_perl that would be cumbersome at best with
standard cgi. But we put intensive sites on their own boxes.
