Comparing shared plans from rockhoster.com and owned-networks.net, which way should I go and why?

Have a look at plans from decent hosting providers: allwebhost.com and libertyvps.net.
They are great in all aspects!
1. Speed is very good. Tested on pingdom and found load time is 3s without cache .
2. Live chat support is ok.
3.Ticket response is sometimes quick and slow depending on work time I think.
4. Uptime is good.

I'm very happy with Rockhoster.com services. They have no setup fees, no hidden fees.
They are good for running Joomla, wordpress, ecommerce and other kind of web sites.
