Do you recommend StableHost? Crocweb?
Do you recommend StableHost despite the limitations most us have heard regarding them.
1. Wordpress Plugins 2. PHP coding 3. Investment sites etc.. I would really like to know, if they are too rude to suspend my site in future without notice. I also have heard a bad story about DDOS attack on CrocWeb users site and ultimately being kicked off their server. What if i as a user end up in such a state, because these things are out of my control. What would you suggest and recommend based on your experience?

WordPress plugins - Stablehost is one of the few hosts that proactively scans their servers for known exploited code. Most hosts do not do this, often to the detriment of themselves and their customers. When Stablehost finds exploited code, or even outdated code, the customer is notified by the automated system. This covers not just WP plugins, but any PHP in the themes or base code. Related side topic: My beef with this system is purely from the stance of an advanced user, namely that "security" is not synonymous with "updated". That's best exampled by the current situation with WordPress 3.4.2, which is the current version, yet has been exploitable since at least late August -- and its now mid October with no patch/fix in sight. Advanced users are known to heavily modify WordPress at the core level, though enough code is retained to trip up detection systems that can still identify it from the server side. In this situation, unfortunately you may need to re-consider not just Stablehost, but shared hosting entirely. Such projects are best isolated on a VPS. PHP coding - I really don't know what you mean here. Stablehost is currently running PHP 5.3.x on some servers, and PHP 5.2.17 custom patched on others. There's nothing out of the ordinary here. Their servers run PHP quite well, actually. Investment sites - This type of content is generally illegal, and both instigator and target of spamming, denial of service attacks (DoS, DDoS), and other undesirable traffic both in and out. Not allowing bottom feeders to infest servers (and thus taint the IP space in reputation systems) is a good thing for customers, not a bad one. This is something I'd consider to be a customer feature/benefit. Quote:

Crocweb would not be to blame here in any way, and would be justified in turning away a customer that simply cannot be serviced by their available hosting plans. Quote:
