Picking The Right Host For You

3.) Datacenter ( Uplinks & Downlink that are being fed to the node )
4.) Ability to grow beyond just Virtual ( Shared ) Hosting.

I always try to getting those details especially if your on a shared server. Once again, they may not be vital to your choosing, but for me its a must.
