Webmasters, what do you want in a host?

What do you want in a web host? Name the features, price, support you want.

Just curious here.

Responsive support willing to spend as much time as needed on fixing your issue. Very few automated responses, personal involvement. Ticket system+live chat/phone. Readiness to upgrade my site to a bigger account when needed.

Service, quality, speed (dont want them to take a week to set up an extra domain, or extra space), domain on own name.

Can't think of more at the moment, maybe later.

I would not recommend a company that I did not like, or don't use myself no matter how good the affiliate program is.

*Powerful CP
*Active 24/7 Support
*An Extensive Wiki
*Easily Upgradable Plans

Umm.. that's all I can think of right now.

Well, most of valid points have been mentioned, want to add
Uptime stats
Honesty (when issues arise on the server I do want to know about them and how they are resolved, I can be patient if the support are trying to fix them, but I have to be informed).

Over the years as a host we have learned that stable servers, stable network, and support response times are all very important. Mostly though with all of our clients the key word is honesty. Be honest no matter how good or bad it is sometimes and clients will stay and keep coming back for more accounts and services.
