When looking for hosting (paid or free) what have most of your clients asked before registering for your services?
If it's paid hosting you are talking about, then I think one of these is a must!
I'm asked constantly, "Are your prices negotiable? Can you lower them because I've found hosting cheaper at XYZ company."
I most cases, I say NO because I use SoftLayer which is considered to be a "premium" datacenter and therefore my prices are slightly higher than other places. BUT you get what you pay for. Go somewhere else, pay half the price and have your site disappear a month later or get DDoS attacked. Your call.
I am however somewhat appalled that you went went the unmetered route on VPS bandwidth.
Most of the clients ask :
Where are your servers located ?
Do you provide 24 / 7 support / phone support / live chat support / End-User Support ?
Staff location ?
Disk Space / Bandwidth ?
Payment method ?
Any offers / promotion code ?
Backup, Uptime guarantee, Money Back guarantee, Server Security, etc...
