Go with <a href="http://www.cirtexhosting.com" rel="nofollow">Cirtex Hosting</a> instead, they are the best low cost web host I've ever used. I saw this from experience having been screwed by Shieldhost repeatedly. I’ve used Shieldhost, and yeah, it does completely suck.

The server migration at Shieldhost managed to lose all my Wordpress mysql databases. I had a backup that was newer than what they managed to restore but still lost many posts. I too had to restore many posts from Google and Yahoo caches. What a pain that was! Despite the fact that I had just paid for another year, I moved everything over to Bluehost. Bluehost has been great, and I would highly recommend them. It is a little more expensive but worth it. I do routine backups of my mysql databases now but haven't needed to use them yet. I'm currently still running a charity organization on Shieldhost (www.stringsofhope.org) but will be switching over to Bluehost as soon as a bunch of exams are done. (I had not kept any backups of the Strings of Hope blog and ultimately had to try and find everything on Google or Yahoo caches.) I have not been impressed with Shieldhost. They definitely have not had 99.9% uptime. I even called them out on this and they said that they would investigate and get back to me. They never got back to me....
