Dunno, I'm paying for Hostmonster/Bluehost (same thing), and a) have had very little trouble, and b) get reasonably knowledgable people. They do offer a choice of o/s, too. Admittedly, I have a very low-traffic website, and I don't have any of the commercial packages that don't come with the basic, but *shrug* they're ok.

I just talked with them on the phone a couple weeks ago and that's what I was told... just one hosting package. The guy I was talking with did seem like a ditz, so maybe he was giving me bad info. We are talking about http://www.bluehost.com/? I'm looking at that page right now and I see just one package offered.
