Ev1 has good bandwidth, and uh, well, that's about it.  They give no 
support, offer no backup solutions, and are loath to admit when they 
screw up.  In my case, they somehow issued a bad copy of cPanel, so I 
spent a week going round and round with them trying to get it resolved. 
  Ugh, was that ever a waste of time!  Then after I gave up, they took 
their sweet time with making a refund as if they wanted to be sure I 
never came back.  There are many happy ev1 customers, so they can't be 
all bad, but my experience was nothing but negative.

ServerBeach.com has offerings very similar to ev1, but in my experience 
their support people were competent and quick.  That made all the 
difference to me.  Recently I've "downgraded" to a VPS (virtual private 
server) from ServInt.com; ServInt has been superb so far (3 months); 
however you said you prefer Ensim, which they do not offer in VPS 
(cPanel and Plesk only, or "naked").

Hope this info is of some use to you!
