The best thing about HostJava.net is that they have a $1 trial service. I took advantage of it (thank goodness). After the account was not set up by the next morning, I got in touch. No phone. Live Chat gets dropped. So e-mail it is. Four hours later they told me the reason for the delay was that my account was in review at their billing department. This was 18 hours *after* the billing department had sent me an invoice, and a receipt for the completed payment.
It only gets better. Since you have no control of the account except through cPanel, you can't do things like change a MySQL setting for using lower case table names with InnnoDB. *That* request went in over 60 hours ago.
Oh and if you put a ticket in on the cPanel - lookout! It goes to the belly of the beast... RoutHost.com and I will let you go and read some reviews about them elsewhere.
These are only samples but pretty damning ones if you ask me.
On the flip side I found heaven with another host today and happily paid a year in advance after one day working with them (where my stuff is up and running).
