It's a virtual account, you get what you pay for, etc...inexperience and ignorance spilling those words.
I've had/have "virtual" accounts and even shared accounts with uptime close to 100% with "cheap" plans. It's all about the company. I recommend
LunarPages.com <= no ref; for mainstream and adult. Customer service is top-fucking-notch, uptime is usually 100% all of the time. I have several shared plans and two VPS plans with LunarPages for well over three years and not one single major problem or downtime.
It all depends on the company. Straight-up.
