I look for good service. A reliable partner that can you call up person to person and solve a problem with. So many times a client wants to use a hosting company that we don't work with and 7 times out of 7 times the host turns out to be this unreachable mystery.
These hosts that are only available by email between 7 pm and 7:15 pm, or only work tech service through automated phone messages, or when you do reach them on the phone they really don't want to help. Frustrating.
A host that we have used over and over again is
Agnitek.com. A small company, but reliable people that you can call up and ask for by name and they will help you. Anyways, after dealing with probably 6 or 7 hosts of all types that offered poor service, just thought you guys would like to know of one who was actually worth it.
