Security
File uploads can be done via SFTP which is excellent.
However PHP is running on mod_php which is not optimal for security.
Overall security is average.

I have ben using vps hosting from host upon for th last 6 months now... They are a good company, and excellent uptime. The only time my server has been down was when I accidentally made an error in my scripting, which overloaded the server. I feel that while the vps plan that I have is expensive, their service is good and the ability to have dozens of domains on one vps makes it worthwhile. I would recommend them to others!
