Setting Up A Web Server

Hi,
I want to know, when a host company is looking to providers for servers, what are the basic factors they are looking for?
Is it the value of the hardware or ability? Both?
Are services like getting SSL certs, domain registry, backup solutions better if all offered through one company?
Can you please give *me any comments or suggestions?

Hi!
Select a reputable, usually big dedicated hosting provider that applies the best possible standards to server hosting. That way, you can be sure that you get reliable service and steady support services- even if it comes at slightly higher costs. Hammering

Hello!
Go for a mid -size hosting provider or smaller company. You can call their numbers and discuss business with their sales executives.
You will get more personal attention as customers are valuable for smaller companies.

Hello!
You can even choose a one man hosting comapany where a single individual who works hard to support 10 - 20 server customers. That means your value as a customer is very high and you will get customized services. But still you need to ensure he is offering you hosting in a good data center and uses a good network. :drunk:
