Good prices, fast servers (located in Germany) and plenty of hosting options available.
However SQL servers are very very poor – I use Invision Board (and PhpBB before that) and am constantly getting “Too Many Connections” errors making the board practically unusable. Have complained many times only for Lycos to say “We have made some changes, it should be better now” and it never is. Thats on a forum with 1500 users.
Support via Email is slow – can take weeks to get a reply.
Wouldn’t recommend them at all if you plan to utilise MySQL to any great extent.
