General Comments
Our Business websites have been with FastHosts (www.fasthosts.co.uk) for about 6 months. In that period we have had frequent problems with lack of resources and mail servers going down. They are cheap and should not be used if you are planning to host busy dynamic (ASP, PHP etc..) sites.
Some advice for anybody that is experiencing slow performance on fasthosts - Backup your site and park the domain in the control panel. Then setup the server again and upload the site. It will be moved to a lesser shared server. Its a pain having set up the mailboxes etc... but once done it solves the slowdown issues.
