Hello Grand,

Here are some of the questions I would suggest:

1. How stable is the network & when was the last time that there was an occurrence?

2. What kind of Tech Support is offered (Live, 24/7, IM, Remote-Hands, Ticketing, etc.)?

3. Besides email & IM's is there a direct phone number for emergencies?

4. Who are the bandwidth / upstream providers?

5. How long has the company been in business?

6. Do they offer a Service Level Agreement (SLA)?

7. IP's or websites that you can reference for current hosting?

8. Are there servers; Managed, Semi-Managed, or Unmanaged?

Of course there are other questions you may want to ask potential host and some could even be specific to your applications but I agree with Chop Smith, pick someone who appreciates your business!

Good luck with your search,
