Whatever you do, don't go near AlphaRed! It's a mass exodus over there due to not just the downtime itself, but several people lost data, were denied compensation, no communication at all with their clients, and more...and the UPS failures were preventable (they were overloaded long before stuff went down and Alpha knew about it but instead of pouring money into new UPS's, they proudly bragged about their new "tube clusters" for tube sites).
The one statement I saw released by Alpha on another forum about the whole matter was a simple sentence posted by a newb sales guy ... other than that, AR completely left people in the dark.
I think Alpha is probably THE worst route anyone could take as far as hosting goes right now. Yeah, they're cheap, but in this case you are getting exactly what you pay for.
