before I joined DWHS I remember looking for the lowest price for as many domains in a plan as possible.
It wasn't untill TGP's kicked me off for having slow loading galleries that i realized that you get what you pay for and saving a couple bucks will cost you time and much more money in the long run.
Now I would suggest:
Redundant tier bandwidth without any cogent or Verio in it although I hear Verio is better now.
Phone support and in house staff to monitor things 24/7
A good reputation but only from your friends, most forum posters have alterer motives in their comments and tend follow the herd.
BBB is a reliable source of how good a host works out problems.
