I just wanted to say that after reading this forum and specifically this thread I decided to give x9 hosting a try for a gaming guild site that I am running. I registered the site http://sfuguild.com last night.

For now I wanted to say thank you for this forum and all of your opinions. It's tough making a decision on who to host with and I hope I picked a good one. As to x9, for now I can say that setting up an account with them is extremely painless and right off the bat I had a couple questions so I can say that customer service is also very prompt.

For now the only portion of my page which is up and functioning is some php that you can find at http://sfuguild.com/eqdkp. It gives a little taste at least to the responsiveness of the mysql database (which is pretty decent especially for the great price).

I look forward to coming back here in a couple months to give a more detailed review. I just wanted to drop a line for now and say that I've enjoyed reading your forums and that getting started with x9 could not have been easier.
