I honestly can't complain about the support or reliability I have received
from fasthosts.  I have a dedicated server from them and so far the
performance has been really good (no one uses it though) and I have not
suffered any downtime that I am unaware of.  My server runs FC3 and has most
of the tools you will need to start with.  Of course its your server so you
can pretty much do what you want with it.  The matrix control panel is a
little strange at first and their FAQ's / tutorials are non existant.  The
only time I have dealt with their support team so far is to do with some DNS
records that were not configured correctly which was not their fault.  They
still helped me resolve my issue with my domain provider.  Now from what I
can tell that seems to be pretty good support.
