Hey guys!
I just started up a proprietary software company (mostly open-source stuff), and I really hope to get hosting. I don't have a lot of requirements but some I need to stick to. Here are the details:
Requirements:
Specifications (negotiable):
Disk space: 1GB is totally sufficient.
Bandwidth: I like anywhere around 5-10GB, but again, this is negotiable.
Wants (in order of priority)
More about the site
As I mentioned above, this will be for a completely trustworthy, no-nonsense website for a sole proprietary company in the open-source web software business. I have a .com domain for the site already. As we mainly pump out open-source stuff (free!), we don't have any revenue as of yet. I'm an experienced web designer/developer and amateur graphic designer.
I will be providing a link back to the hosting site in the form of a friendly "Hosted by: Your Company Name". The point of this is not to raise SEO through backlinking (although that may happen as a side-feature), but to provide real referrals from site visitors.
And if your hosting company is absolutely amazing (I hope so), I will personally refer people I know to the company. I've done it before and it benefits everyone.
I hope that's not too much... Cheers, and thanks a bunch!

I just started up a proprietary software company (mostly open-source stuff), and I really hope to get hosting. I don't have a lot of requirements but some I need to stick to. Here are the details:
Requirements:
- Fast server. You should be able to prove this somewhat.
- Great uptime. Anywhere around 97%.
- .htaccess support.
- No overselling
- Unlimited subdomains
- PHP 5 (I won't be running a lot of scripts, don't worry )
Specifications (negotiable):
Disk space: 1GB is totally sufficient.
Bandwidth: I like anywhere around 5-10GB, but again, this is negotiable.
Wants (in order of priority)
- You are not a reseller. You own your server (this is my reliability test; usually resellers get suspended)
- The server is close to (or in) Vancouver, BC (low latency)
- cPanel (I know, it's not a requirement )
