What do you all want in a webhost?

What would you all would like in a webhost?

Errr, this is a no brainer:

Dependable servers with dependable people behind them.
Courteous and quick sales and tech support.
Solid, redundant network connections.
A easy to use site, that answers most support questions.

Just read what people have posted negatively about their current hosts and do the oposite.

good support!

One that pays me money to host me...anyone know of any ... hehe :)

Stability, speed, a unix flavor. I don't really use support that much.
A "something's broken, come and fix it"-button is all I actually need from support.

A basic package consisting of some webspace (not a gazillion megabytes, just 50 or so would do at first) which can be upgraded at an acceptable rate. PHP support and mySQL is a must, perl, some pops, mailing list.

Bandwidth should be affordable, like 4-5$/gig max.

That's about what I look for in a host. I don't need all the bells and whistles since I don't use half of it.
A control panel is a plus.

stability, reliability, speed

Everything else is secondary altough space 30-50 to start with. And yes, cheap too!

Is there such a thing?

Honestly, I think the biggest thing I look for in a host is a support team that want to see you succeed. Most hosts will offer a lot and have good prices, but support when something goes down is critical, and if a host doesn't have that, then its not even worth my attention.

The second thing I look for is profesionalism. I want people to at least look like they know what they are doing. I want to business with a corporation, not some individual trying to make money...basically I want some assurance that their company is stable and will be there for me...

Well thats my 2 cents...

I go along with support. Also, they all go down but I get bent out of shape when it is for a long period of time (hour or more). I guess that goes back to support... having someone on hand that knows what they are doing.

A lot of space.. extra ftp account so I can host my other small sites and domain names.. nothing over $30 a month.. and I don't mind if I only get 3gb bandwidth as long the bandwidth does not cost too much.
