I agree with Nathan. You get what you pay for. I've been using such services of hosting providers and in most cases (I've had a few so far), the speed is dramatic (all cost about 10 to 15 US dollars). Sometimes it's even not advisable to connect with more than 3 or 4 people simultaniously. Absolutely not a situation you want. The only company that had good performance so far was Wizardshosting. They, however, don't offer you all the functionality "out-of-the-box" you need for Interchange. You'll have to communicate with them quite heavily to set everything up, but once it's up and running, then all is well. I've now made the decision to stop using hosting providers and use my own Cable modem connection to host a couple of sites. If you would really want to use a hosting provider, pick the ones that have a 30 or 14 day money-back-garantee and set up the demo store and test like a mad man. Then you will see the actual performance.

In most cases, you get what you pay for....would like to hear more about this place, ya never no! As a person who is in the Hosting industry myself, I just hope they don't pull what other competitors have done. Charge ridiculously low prices, get thousands of clients and then sell them off. We are not the cheapest, nor do we plan to be. We are priced for the quality of our service, which in my eyes, and our clients eyes, we have great prices for what we offer. We want quality customers instead of thousands and thousands of $9.99 customers. Those customers take a lot time usually.
