I still think that they are the #1 host you can get for ASP.NET by virtue of the fact that there simply is not a big market for .NET hosts… Mosso will work with you on IIS configuration letting you port almost any .NET app to it… If you are going the PHP route though, look somewhere else, you can probably find something with a better price. Speaking of price, one fantastic thing about Rackspace is you can have an unlimited number of unique sites/domains which is what makes it a much better value than MediaTemple if you run a freelance business that hosts its own clients… Rackspace even handles the billing of the clients virtually.
