Here are a few things I consider a good web-host to have. Also if you are considering starting a web-host these are some points you should breeze through.

&#8226;<b>Professional Layout</b> - It is very important for a web-host to have a great and easily navigable layout.

&#8226;<b>Support emails</b> - This along with a help desk system is a must

&#8226;<b>Response time</b> - This is one of the most decisive factors in choosing your Web-Host. I believe a good response time is anything between 4 hours, if its later then that I would not consider purchasing anything from them

&#8226;<b>Live Chat</b> - This handy tool can help you bring immediate sales if you know how to use it. But Web-Hosts having &#8216;Live-Help offline' for most of the time would also not be in my To-Buy list

&#8226;<b>PageRank</b> - No matter how good the site is, if it doesn't have a PageRank greater than 3, I'd just hit it close.

&#8226;<b>Language</b> - The overall language used on the site would spell its level of professionalism to me.

&#8226;<b>Testimonials</b> - Really essential to convince future buyers and also if I saw a testimonial of a site I visit, I would definitely consider this host. Another instant sale method!

I consider these are the general essentialities a good Web-Host should have. However there are many other nitty-gritty techniques to boost your sales in addition to the above.

I hope you may have enjoyed reading my post and it helped you choosing YOUR host ;)
