pair networks in my opinion is the best web hosting company out there.
other competitors may provide more disk space at more affordable prices,
but when it comes to downtime and support pair is a winner:

they provide telephone support

their servers run on unix (much more stable than any windows server)

network downtime is very low

urgent issues are handled in a very timely manner.

support requests, depending on the complexity of the problem, are handled
on average within an hour

they have a newsgroup and detailed support documentation to assist customers with support issues as well

Great for Resellers

My domain, Kaufman.net, has been hosted on Pair's servers for nearly a decade. During this entire time, I've never noticed any down-time or service outages of any kind. The great thing about their service is their support for third-party resellers of their service.

While you can order service directly from Pair.com, they have an army of resellers who can provide value-added support. I use Gigawatt.com/PowerData.com and they (for a small fee) manage user accounts, email, web shares, etc.

My service plan includes the one web domain, an IMAP/POP3 email server and a MySQL database server with as many databases as I need. There are, of course, limits as to how much space can be used by web, mail and data files - but the initial limits seem to be high enough, and they can easily be bumped up for a very small fee.

From my experience with them so far I can say that I seriously doubt I will ever need to find another host. These guys have their act together and they know what they are doing. I'm so impressed with this host that I can't even find words to do my feelings justice. I just don't know how anyone could do it better than pair. I could go on and on about all the things I'm impressed with but I'm sure most of you already know how good they are. If you haven't seen them and you need to find another host (or a new host) you owe it to yourself to check them out.

Pair is perhaps the most reliable hosting provider in existance. After hosting sites at several places, Pair Pair is by far my favorite. No company is perfact. They are more expensive then many and little things such as having to pay an extra dollar per month for subdomains when they are already priced at a premium level is a small annoyance. But when you need your site to work consistantly and you are willing to pay for that reliability, nobody does it better.

I'm using Pair for several years now and have absolutely no complaint with their uptime or email services. They even up the disk space quota from 150MB to 200 MB recently with no price increases.

However I seriously want to use MySQL and PHP but the cheapest way to do that is to go from $5.95/mo to $29.95/mo.

I seriously wish they would provide MySQL/PHP/CGI access at lower price points, but now I am seriously looking at plans like icdsoft that charge $5 for much more than I get with Pair.

As I said, the only problem with Pair is lack of advanced features for low-end accounts.

I'm an independent website designer who has steered my customers (mostly artists, musicians and non-profits) to pair.com for 3 years. Their basic FTP plan is inexpensive, comes with more disc space than most small sites will ever need, has generous transfer allowances and online tech help that's quick, intelligent and unfailingly polite.

I just signed on to their Advanced plan for my own business. I should have done it months ago. My only quibble is that their mail system can be a bit confusing at first for someone who's looking for an intuitive interface. Still, their online support crew answered all of my questions within a half hour and also went out of their way to make the system work for me.
