Hi,

What are the things you want in a web hosting company.
Want to partner with some guys to setup on of the best in
the country or west africa.

Any ideas or interested partners.

free cpanel hosting and domain.

Was waiting for someone to mention the word free.
Well lets get this clear from the very beginning.

No part of free is good, when it comes to web hosting.
Free usually comes with empty promises and bad results.

Was thinking more Apple like. Expensive but really good.

Why did you have to wait?
Its best to make your objectives clear from the start. State from the start that you do not want suggestions with the word "FREE".

Now that's another thing I'll like to see from a web host. One with clear and objective terms of service so a customer isn't misled.

you may need your webhost to offer customer support, multiple domain hosting and others( cpanel, multiple mysql databases,
domain names, cgi support and of course php)

Thanks gmmall,

I see you offer web hosting services yourself.
Thanks for the comments, but i am not sure
about offering all these options you have mentioned.

See the thing is this, a lot of the sites we have now
do not even require half of the features listed here.

No offense meant really, but how many of your
current clients actually use all you offer.

I have been using cpanel, plesk etc for years now
and i still have over 75% of the icons i have not
used in the past 5 years.

What would you say to a web hosting package thats
just simple, and clean, that does not imply weak o.
I mean something less bulky and a simpler web hosting
interface.

Without all the icons we never get to use. Just good
quality hosting with 99.9 uptime guaranteed, no unnecessary
freebies, just a simple hosting that does what it says on the
box.

Are you considering suggestions or looking for whom to work with.
You might just strike the right deal. Who knows?

If you can make your intentions very clear, perhaps we can work.

Maybe service that does not timeout from time to time and the customer care actually "Care"

Two things really, i want to hear opinions and
suggestions and i am looking for partners.

Support, support, support and friendly team.

I have got this from just one host - lagoshost.com

Before you choose hosting you have to check with these
--Reliability and speed of access
--Data Transfer (Traffic/Bandwidth)
--Disk space
--Multiple Domain Hosting and Subdomains
--Server
--Price
--Monthly/Quarterly/Annual Payment Plans
i ve hosted my domain with Thewebpole and hosted my domain, the 24/7 customer support service is good and satisfactory, there are two different OS and three different plans of that you can select the one which suits for you and there are languages like asp.net,ruby,rails etc also you can choose the type of language you use for you,
