I think its a difficult one, westgate, and depends primarily on your marketing strategy (I definitely hope you have one). One thing is to go after your local market where a lot of startups without big advertising budgets can start generating cashflow, or go after a global consumer, thus disregarding the geographical location of your company.

If you choose local market as the one you want to depend on during startup stage and then, having that initial revenue security, expand, go with Westgate Web Hosting.

If you are more interested in attracting a global consumer off the start, then I suggest a very amuzing Peanut Butterfly Hosting (Peanut Hosting sounds shorter and better in my opinion). The last thing you want to do is to be afraid that it is not going to be taken serious! Yahoo!, Monster.com, Tax Momma, GoDaddy, Flickr weren't afraid - why should you? Your priority as a business is to bring as much "talk" and "hype" about your company. Think about how you will want to stand out, not what your critical competitors would say, and definitely not what the industry standard is suggesting for you to be (marketing wise). And I think if I saw a banner for "Westgate Web Hosting" and "Peanut Butterfly Hosting", I would want to check out the second one.

Hope that gives you some ideas.
