Protection of the Server?

[Gigos]

Is it important thing. And should I pay attention on that while choosing shared account?
I had some presales conversation with Simplehalix.com (Rated #1 Fastest PHP 5 Web Hosting in U.S.A, Magento Hosting, Enterprise Hosting, Zend Framework Hosting, Joomla Hosting, Wordpress Hosting) sales. and he told they use HELIXGUARD for that (as far as I understand that is their own product).
Can I trust such kind companies or better find company with common security solutions?

I usually try to look for 5+ year-old host to go with, checking whois record, that's one of the guarantees of the host stability on the market.
Serverpoint.com mentioned above seems to have been in business for 10 years, at least this is waht they write about on their index page.
