I just tend to like HostMatters a bit better. They have better support than Webaxxs/OLM. OLM once charged me $50 to restore a backup of MySQL and took nearly the whole day to do it. About the only thing that is better with OLM is that they resolve a little faster than HM does. Of course, this will vary depending upon where you are located and your ISP. HM also uses CPanel which is much better than what OLM uses. I also had a site hacked on OLM. It was hacked horizontally which means that they came into the server and migrated out to the user directories.

There are many other choices out there too of good hosts.
