Hi everyone. I have a bit of a dilemma with my Web hosting, and sadly, you guys are the only people I know that may be able to help me.
My Web host is PHP Web hosting. They offer a good deal on Web hosting which includes unlimited domains, subdomains and MySQL databases along with unmetered space and traffic. I like them as I get SSH access and Cron access, it's almost as good as having my own server, but it's not. I get all this for $9.95 per month, but there seems to be a serious problem with resources. I've set up a script which runs every 15 minutes, and dumps the string returned from the "uptime" command. Here's what I have so far:

As you can see, this doesn't look very good. I've queried it with the company before, and they claim that it's probably people who haven't indexed their database tables properly, and state that there's nothing they can do about it as MySQL lacks the reporting tools to help them find who's responsible. Does anyone know of any way that they can find out who's responsible?
They also claim to have fully burstable bandwidth, but I can usually download at around 7-13KB/s, which is ridiculous. I've been backing up my Web space (about 500MB of data), and so far, 6 hours have passed, and I'm at 63%... I see no reason why this shouldn't have been done within 30 minutes to 1 hour.
I know that a lot of people will simply want to respond with "Get a new Web host!", but I do like the freedom I get with this company, but perhaps it comes at too higher price. Any advice would be appreciated.
