Please answer any of this questions, as many or all of them.
It will help me build a company you want.

I would like to know what other languages are mainstream in the hosting industry.
I am most likely going to offer support in

English
Other
Other

So I have 2 slots open (site will also be converted to these 2 languages.)

I am also setting up for world wide locations.
Currently I have sorted 2 locations
US - Cheap servers 10mbit servers with directadmin - VPS - VDS (xen) - Hosting on a cluster
AU - Cheap Servers - VPS - VDS (xen).
where would you like your VPS/VDS/Server/Hosting package to be hosted and for what reason?

Would you buy this?
Pentium D 2.80Ghz, 160GB or better
1GB RAM
10Mbit Unmeterd or 1500GB on 100mbit
Free Directadmin
5 Ips
$65

Celeron 1.7Ghz, 80GB Or better
1GB RAM
10mbit Unmeterd or 1500GB on 100mbit
Free directadmin
5 Ips
$39

Celeron D 2.40Ghz, 80GB or better
1GB RAM
10mbit Unmeterd or 1500GB on 100mbit
Free directadmin
5 Ips
$45

If you couldn't manage a server would you pay a professional $20 for 5 hours of tech support each month? (to install scripts and fix issues, update etc)
(Chances are you would never need more than 5 hours)


What other things do you look for in a host (excluding the obvious 2, good support and uptime.)

Would you rather multi currency when paying for packages? IE: USD AUD EURO.
Or would you rather just pay in USD/Other? please explain which one.


Thanks for taking some time to answer questions that are important to you.

1) English and Japanese
2) US, main stream of Internet
3) Are you trying to provide VPS or dedicated server? If VPS, I won't choose your service.
4) I am OK with $$.

I would like to add that English support that is enough. That would be pricely to spread on the other languages

It's hard to say what other languages besides English are popular. It really depends on your target market. If you aren't targeting any specific market, then you could only really focus on English. In my experience, I've had support requests ranging from Spanish to Russian.

Check the traget audience. In any case you need to understand that english will be acceptable with any region

Look, if you can provide hosting and support services in Russian and Mandarin, you'll be doing very well, especially at those prices!
