What relevance does it have if RackShack is a reseller or not. I use them for my dedicated server needs and have had great experience with them.

They are not real hosting companies.
Resellers have very little invested in their businesses, just servers. Therefore they are not as nearly as stable as a real Tier One hosting. Resellers typically don't staff data centers, nor are they signing bandwidth contracts with the backbones. If they don't pay their bill with the real hosting company, you're fucked. Their abuse and tech support "departments" are one-removed from the real hosting company, etc. If a reseller is cheap, go for it. But you get what you pay for.
BTW, RackShack sells Cogent, did you miss that in my last post?
