1. Ability to manage all my websites from one place (i.e. virtual dedicated servers). Most of my clients do not want to establish relationships with hosting companies, so I have to manage the hosting for them if I want to get the design job.
2. Very good uptime
3. Very good price (I need to be able to charge clients a hosting fee that is competitive with other paid options).
4. Actual technical support available for a fee on an as-needed basis. Not like freaking GoDaddy who will deny there is a fee-based technical support for days before they finally realize your problem is "Advanced" and offer the fee-based service I was requesting from the beginning. I know when I can do it myself or if I need to pay their "Expert Hands." Don't make me suffer for days with obvious do-it-yourself tutorials when I tell you I've already done all that and I need an actual analysis. At $150 per hour, you would think they would be happy to do easy stuff, but they literally deny there is such a service until you push for days, and then they literally offer and price the service. I need really technical support.
