In my previous life, I designed hosting facilities. Then as a customer used many all around the U.S. and Europe.
Stay away from Deluxe Hosting. Performance < poor; support < horrible. When asking their support team about the time outs and abysmal speed they actually responded with...
"We are extremely sorry for the delay in getting back to you. There was some temporary load issues in the server and this has been fixed now. Since this is a shared server these kind of instances often arises."
"Often Arises" - Fix the servers!
They are a zero rating for me.
Hi Jeff, Thank you for posting. I do have our senior administrators looking into all servers to ensure they are running as you, and we, expect them to. Thank you again.
