Why risk it.
You'd rather go with someone who won't suck in the first place.

Why on earth would you want to use a host that

A) Can't even spell "Web Hosting" http:// shipmhost.co.uk/hostpay/about_us.htm

B) Doesn't list any basic company details on their website.

C) Is breaking UK Law by not adhering to the Distance Selling Regulations.

D) Has the strapline "Even a Monkey can afford it". Unless of course you are actually a monkey?

They are a Heart customer and if you trace to them you can see their peering router matches Hearts. They also use the same status page as Heart. Odd thing is they link to Hearts status page and if they have their own servers, the only relavent bit would be network related and not server related...

Hmm, perhaps a reseller?

I like the way they claim to be a UK Company. In the TOS/AUP it even has Shimphost Ltd, but no company has ever been registered?
