Thanks for the responses.
What really provoked this was the speed of the sites and the fact I started experiencing trouble with adwords because of "poor user experience" from the sites that were hosted.
Certified hosting is good but I don't need that much space on a server, I've used them before.
I want SSD drives for all my stuff, hosting included.
Less than a week ago I took apart my 2010 27" iMac and installed a SSD into it. Quiet and loads everything 2-5x faster. Speed matters a lot more than it used to, especially with all other websites out there.
