Netnation employs immigrants at lowest possible rates, their service was
questionable at best , fluidity of human resources was hight when I was
in Vancouver, and in Vancouver people try to hang on to their jobs
because of the job market size.
I would highly recommend peer1, if you can haggle them down they have
very excellent service. Airgames I worked for had excellent support and
flexible support from them. joelonsoftware uses them as well, and I
respect the guy. He quotes them as very good deal.
HTH,
Pavel
