I got what was advertised in the package which was a lot for just $60/year. However I found the helpdesk to be unprofessional (asking for my password via email, for example) and, well, not always very helpful. It was often difficult to get clear, meaningful answers.
The fact that their support page crashed the first time I used it didn't inspire confidence. The problem turned out to be that I used a contraction in my problem description ("can't access...") and the single quote broke the SQL statement that tried to save my comments. Was I really the first person ever to use a single quote in a support request?!?
Also, the server seems to be rebooted monthly based on the uptime info displayed in the control panel.
At $60/year it is certainly a bargain but I'd think more of the company if they raised their prices and support quality both.

This is a very good hosting service - my site is still relatively young but it is currently in good hands. The only thing I have any problems with is that occassionaly I will have a few moments of downtime here and there, although it passes after a few minutes and the time between is great. Their tech support is amazing, and response time is mind-blowing. If you want a reliable and great host - BurtonHosting is for you.

I previously had hosted my website on my own computer (thanks to a campus internet connection and a static IP). However, I had to move and find a reliable host for our role-playing site. Our unique problem was that the software we used and the method of storytelling led to large amounts of data, meaning that we'd need some significant space. Burton Hosting's been a god-send. The PersonalPro hosting solution was a good package for our site (even if it may be a little more expensive than other options). After a few self-made headaches with transfers and the such, our site has been running smoothly for a bit over a month now. Despite my occasionally silly requests for help, they were helpful (if maybe a little terse at times). Uptime has been of little concern on our shared server, and if there is a problem, their forums are often up-to-date and informative. Since this is my first hosting service, I now have some high expectations of others, should Burton ever fail. But given their responsiveness and responsibility, I wouldn't bet on that happening any time soon.

I've recommended several other folks to Burton, and all of us are extremely satisfied.
The response from customer support is very quick and very helpful. The downtime is non-existent. The control panel is easy to use and very informative.
The cost can't be beat either. Previously had Yahoo hosting, which pales in comarison.
