Since Spirit Hosting's servers are in a data center located in Malaysia, they offer bandwidth of OC-48/STM-16, which I wasn't aware even existed until I saw it on the chart they reference on the Spirit Hosting website. Apparently it's unique to Asian areas. Anyway, it is fast.

I like the fact that there is room for expansion in their hosting plans for a website. When I fist hosted with them, I started out with a Lite account, never dreaming my website would grow so fast. Now, 8 months later I had to upgrade to a larger package for the features. The main thing is I didn't have to pay for features before I decided to use them. I've also never experienced any server failures all this time.

The privacy is extremely important to me because of the offshore nature of my business. They have never pushed to get any information from me other than a code name and e-mail address for contact purposes. I feel quite comfortable hosting here, and with their prompt customer service, I bet the others feel the same way.
