Full Commentary Review:
My first concern was that they were (are) new. This is always a sign of caution to me. And if anyone think about looking into them, keep that in mind. But new doesn't always mean bad. In fact I've been surprised at the level of support and response time to my inquiries. But it is something in the back of my mind that I always remember (that's just me).
While they offer shared hosting, I was surprised that they seem willing to customize plans. I was able to talk them into a small VPS. Although they seem to specialize in shared and resell accounts (from my understanding). And they were flexible in the packaging and price.
Support has been quick to reply and very friendly. One of those few host who call you by name, but also has manners in that they use the words; "please, thank you, and sorry". I respect people who can use those in support.
Only been with them for 3 months so far. Will need to follow up.
I think my summary about covers most of everything, but I'll be willing to answer questions upon request
