#1 Quality in a Web Host?

[rumsfo]

I assume all items which are listed there are very important. I assume that would be incorect to consider one of them more important and some of them less important

Among all the other options I would choose reliability and maximum uptime guarantee.

-Reliable (99.9%+ Uptime)
-24/7 Support
-Cheap Prices
-Many good reviews
-Age (Been around for 1+ years)
-Other

Only all of them. If there would be only one - I would choose another host. I know that it is possible for the company to correspond all these paramenters, as I have got experience with serverpoint which proves that.

For me I want to know what country there servers are based, so for example if my website is targetting UK customers, the server needs to be in the UK

How many of your customers do you think really look to see where the server is located?

I suspect you're right and the chances of a client knowing how to or bothering to find out is remote.

However, I can see his point. If you're dealing with high ticket customers, then you are also dealing with certain expectations. One of those expectations would be that everything to do with their UK-Centric website is based and serviced in the UK.

Personally, we have all our sites (a lot of UK clients as well) on our US servers.
only once has a client mentioned about server location and he was more than happy with his SE rankings so it was easy for us to brush it off as inconsequential.
