I've had a very good experience with
ixwebhosting, they offer linux or windows based hosting plans.
the MySQL server is seperate from your site server, so the only problems I've ever had, was when a dns problem occured on their side, and my MySQL server was unavailable for 1 hour. The tech support responded quickly, and I had a reply within 15 minutes.
they are very phone-friendly as well, this was a big thing with me, my last host was completely unavailable when I needed that fast-phone-service.
ixwebhosting is a great site for xoopsers.
They also offer a lot of different level plans, I'm running two "gold plans" right now to host 12 XOOPS sites. they offer 6 domains, 3 free dns registers, SSL, (
