I couldn't say I would even considering buying hosting from someone that can't deal with a DOS attach in a day. Espically one that hosts their own nameservers, not just in the same location, not just on the same box, and not just on the same IP, but on a Road Runner cable connection.

OrgName: Road Runner-Commercial
OrgID: RCNY
Address: 13241 Woodland Park Road
City: Herndon
StateProv: VA
PostalCode: 20171
Country: US

ReferralServer: rwhois://ipmt.rr.com:4321

NetRange: 24.39.0.0 - 24.39.255.255
CIDR: 24.39.0.0/16

I would only consider ever buying hosting from a place hosted in a real data center - with redundent power and network lines at the very least. I'll stick with my own servermatrix box. I can't say that he is actually doing the web hsoting on RoadRunner, because his nameservers don't work and they have been down long enough that I can't find a DNS server that has the IP cached.
