Hello, I recently started a local web site design and hosting company, I already have a few customers and they are all more then satisfied.
My question is, what do you guys want out of your hosting company. Please give me any comments and ideas you have.

I use BlueHost.com and they are truly phenominal. Every page I build for others I also make sure they host there. They're a dream come true.
There are tons of add-ins that make it easy some are things most would never think abourt, various shopping cart choices, blogs, customer service apps, image apps, spam assassin, a cgi center with counters, countdowns, time and such, promotional items such as $50 free google ad words, $25 free yahoo ad services and others
Here's their blurb from their front page
UNLIMITED Hosting Space
UNLIMITED File Transfer
Host UNLIMITED Domains!!!
2,500 POP/Imap Email Accounts
SSH (Secure Shell), SSL, FTP, Stats
CGI, Ruby (RoR), Perl, PHP, MySQL
2000/2002 Front Page Extensions
Free Domain Forever!
Free Site Builder
24/7 Superb/Responsive Sales/Support
and all of it only costs me $6.95/mo -
1) Quick technical support.
2) Advance (way in advance) warnings prior to scheduled upgrades so I am prepared for any possible service interruptions no matter how brief. -
You should understand that since you are reselling hosting you ultimately have no control of anything other than marketing.
You have some customers - you must be doing something right. Try to keep a distance and let the support staff from the reseller handle the customer care.
You can find tons of marketing tips in these forums.-
I must be psychic. It's the plain layout and minimal content that gives it away. Also nothing is personalized. The average internet user would have no idea - I'm a superuser, as you can see
Keep in mind I am not insulting you. Just because that other thread got out of hand doesn't mean your on MY bad list. I just want to offer advice to help you make money. Everyone is my friend here, even the republicans(I wouldn't vote for them though).
Good luck with your business.
