I'm here to share my experience with WebSitePros web-hosting.

The majority of web hosting companies can host much more effectively than WebSitePros (as stated by the previous two responses by littleFella and monster).

Facts:
1) I've worked with WebSitePros over the past month.
2) They have 3 web-servers hosting all their clients.
3) All the sites I managed (previously hosted on olm.net) now hosted on WebSitePro servers respond much slower (3-5 times slower).
4) I did a reverse IP lookup for WebSitePros servers and tested other sites.

The results were:
WebSitePros web-servers were extremely sluggish.

Visit any of the websites listed on the shared IPs and you'll see the really slow response times. (The sites I managed were w3c compliant HTML 4.01 transitional static pages so they load quickly on a decent server).

5) FTP response time on these servers were horrible!
6) The packages are bare-bones...
They come with 4 things:
250M of disk space
10GB of monthly transfer
20 email accounts
Web Statisitics

Would you pay more than $100/month for this? I doubt it (but if you're willing to buy this, I've also got a bridge for sale in Brooklyn).

One thing WebSitePros does well is "selling".

Conclusion:
WebSitePros web-hosting should be avoided.
