I am still using rack111.com. And I still consider it as a good quality web host, given the features they offer and the support they provide. For example, they have mbstring support, and my Chinese version XOOPS runs beautifully on this host. I am a lot happier with rack111 than my previous paid host, which does not know anything that is multi-byte. The uptime of this host is also improved greatly. Since their last update on 8/1, I did not notice that the host has ever gone down. The customer support is also prompt and helpful.
It is true that they added one line of google ad at the bottom of my page, though that does not bother me. If you truely do not like that google ad, you can pay them $10 to have it removed. Putting myself in their shoes, I think it is fair, since they too also need to make a living.
