Just signed up for my Linux plan with Simple Helix as i’ve heard all the great things in the Magento Forum about them.  The performance is indeed excellent, my new Magento site http://www.tickon.com is very very speedy, even the backend admin pages have been quite snappy.  So definitely no complaints on the performance. PLUS it’s only a shared standard hosting $20/mo.

One big grip that i have tho…they haven’t been able to give me a dedicated IP address, and couldn’t give me an ETA on when i can get one!  So i am stuck with an awesome site that can’t take any orders b/c I can’t install SSL without a dedicated IP.

twiddling my thumbs just waiting now….i will give them 2 more days to resolve this, otherwise i am demanding a refund, as much as i don’t want to.

I was even thinking about signing up for the Reseller Program, but from the way they have handled my dedicated IP situation, i will hold off for now.
