what is your own shortlist?

spent friday/saturday doing research and I've come down to a choice of either pair.com or a2hosting. I have high-traffic MQS package here at FQ so I'm trying to replicate that level of traffic/space.

I'm using A2 - they are great and have a free migration service. Our client's site was moved on Saturday with no issues at all. Email can be migrated, although it's a bit tricky without the use of a cPanel, which FQ didn't provide. Anyway, my vote's in for A2 Hosting.

I'd vote for pair.com based on my experience with email interactions...all of my emails to them have been answered in a matter of minutes. Meanwhile, I never got a response to my second email to A2 Hosting sales sent over a week ago (and Superb Internet never even answered my first...) Also, Terra's comments about a "cookie cutter" control panel don't apply to pair.com. Their account control center appears to be custom-designed and has a solid, old-school feel that I like.
