No, I don't. I am vocal about brands I admire or dislike. One of the ways I was taught to evaluate web hosting companies was to check how long they have been in the business (both the company and the management) as web hosting is an easy business to get into (even today, any Tom, Dick and Harry can start a web hosting business with next to nothing investment by becoming a reseller). Pair hosting is one of the oldest web hosting companies I know, and they have / had a reputation for high server uptimes (I still remember one of their employee had once posted in some forum on how one of their FreeBSD run server had an uptime of more than 2+ years - yeah, bragging about server uptimes was once a thing too) and great customer support. (I also have fond memories of Linode, Slicehost, Rackspace etc. before they all gave up and were gobbled up by someone, and web hosting became all this "cloud" bullshit.)
Tl;dr: No. Brand recognition / recall is a powerful marketing tool.
Some old businesses are still running because they've been able to stay relevant over the long term. And some old businesses are still running because they've been relying on name recognition and customers who can't be bothered to move.
Unfortunately, I think Pair is in the latter category.
Businesses that don't change with times do die a slow death. I have no idea how you've come to the conclusion though that Pair is in that category - would you like to clarify?
