Soooo..do you have any recommendations? I need to see when my contract is up.
The guy who wrote the blog about EIG used to have a chart of hosting recommendations. Not sure why he changed his site, but the top five are the ones listed on the right side of his page. Click on the logo for any of them to read the review:

I've been with MDDHosting for years, and they've been great. On the rare occasion that I've needed some help, I get a very fast response, often from Michael (the M in MDD) himself.
One piece of advice from Sufyan, and that I've consistently followed, is never to commit to more than one year of hosting from
anyone, no matter how good they are, even though you usually get a cheaper rate by doing that. The reason is straightforward - things can change, and you don't want to be a prisoner. I've been with a couple of hosts who said, "We'll never sell out to EIG," but who then got an offer that was too good to walk away from, and sold out to EIG.
And I'll presume that those java errors were due to slow/lousy hosting?
I'm just guessing, but when a host refuses the connection half a dozen times, then accepts it, that's a sign.
