I used to have three domains with interland before getting a server. they always managed to screw things up. not long ago they merged with hostpro and things got really bad.
How stupid do you have to be to say that you are the largest IIS host,
and that you're proud of it?????
anyway, they slashed the unix training for those people like crazy, promoted any real talent so you can never speak to them (level 3 tech my ass). they have a wonderful support secretary system now, to waste your time. if you're lucky they won't even assign a recycled IP address to your site and mess up your search placement, like they did to one of the sites.
stay away from them at all costs.

I am a freelance web designer and host. One thing I look for is a free dial up connection as a backup to my DSL line. That way there's at least enough to check and send email, administer server in co-lo, etc. Secondly, you can ask for a more stable less sexy connection such as IDSL which lacks the fast flow of an ADSL connection, but can be counted on for days of uptime without disconnect at a time. Lastly, there are upgrades to ADSL with quality of service provisions (guaranteed uptime), but they come at a price. My line is fifty a month, would be 230 a month for guaranteed uptime.
Last resort, take advantage of your lack of connectivity to get some work done without being bugged or distracted.
