    Hey, I am doing a little bit of market research. I am currently a web hosting provider and would like to ask what other people look for in web hosting plans.

    Basically, what I would like to know is the following:

    Space: (how much space you look for)
    Bandwidth: (how much bandwidth you look for)
    Features: (I.E. MySQL databases, email, ftp features you look for)
    Price: (What price range you look for, for the specifications you have put for the above)

    If you could help me out, I would be greatful.

    Thanks,
    Adam.

    Since I don't have sites that require special features, I am only interested in the uptime, speed and prices.

    I look more for a reliable high quality brand, because features are about equal in most top hosting companies. I'm looking at brand value when choosing my hosting, so out of all the offers I know I got a good reliable company that I can count on.

    1) Reliability
    2) Customer Support (I require 7*24 telephone support)
    3) Platform
    4) Price

    For me, Customer Support usually narrows down the field very quickly.
