Yeah, I'd agree there are loads of hosts around, however on the whole, these are the best I've ever come across - and I've been through more than a few! They are usually right about most things, but I just get the feeling they are more in favour of Perl than PHP and I can't stand Perl! ;)
I was just wondering what people thought of the general state of 4.3.2, thanks everyone for their answers - I didn't think there would be any serious problems as someone said, they wouldn't release one if they knew it was buggy. The question has to be asked though (although this probably isn't the right place to do so) - why is the latest Debian APT package 4.3.2?
