It went down 3 minutes after I recieved "I have made some modifications to the TCP/IP implementation on your server" via email. Been home with a sick kid today and didn't have time to get online before now. If my GF hadn't come home and allowed me 5 mins online it would have stayed down for god knows how long. Not the kind of service I appreciate.
This isn't the best forum to ask that question. You won't get an unbiased answer here. Most of the answers you'll get here will be from host that post here, people that have talked to them or host that are known and open about hosting adult content. Then there's people trying to make a quick buck off(affiliate codes) of ya even if the host sucks.

I would rather use a host that's good at what they do than use one just because they remember your name and talk to you. As for "adult host", very many of the big host out there have no problem long as it's legal content so it doesn't matter that it's porn. Saying they are an adult host is just a way for them to sell more hosting.

Anyway I'll list one for you that you probably won't find posted by anyone else here... softlayer , one huge host that's pretty damn good at hosting. They have lots of free & cheap tools to monitor your servers uptime. If that isn't enough for you it looks like they offer services to have a human check it for $50 a month.

Softlayer also offers DDoS protection "standard", if you get hit many host will tell you they can't do anything about it. Most of the others will try to charge you out the ass for adding more hardware to put a stop to it.

There's more host like them but you most likely won't find them posted here.
