I definitely dont think that cheap prices is it. Even me, a 13 year old kid, knows that quality beats cheapness. Well, I voted for Reliability, since if you cant rely on them, you might get money stolen, and etc, etc

Reliability, and value. I could care less about Customer Support, I want a webhost that is reliable enough for me not to require tech support.

Join Canaca, their famous for that. Today I experienced my second database rollback. All together I've lost over 8 days, 15,000 to 20,000 page views, 3 members and untold content plus template changes.

I guess you get what you pay for.

Customer support and reliability, of course customer support first, because if the servers down, they are reliable to get it back up, kind of thing..

Quality matters alot to me.

I agree. Even with the hurricanes in Houston, TX, where they're located, I can still pick up the phone and speak with someone who knows WTF is going on within 30 seconds at RackShack.
