A comment about bandwidth. A lot of people get suckered in by the UNLIMITED bandwidth ploy. Usually if you read carefully in their TOS (always read the TOS), you'll find that it's not unlimited as they claim. The whole concept is pretty much a scam. There is no such thing.
Always ask whether you can upgrade your bandwidth later on. No one is really sure what their bandwidth requirement is at the start and many are overestimated. I know I've done this myself. The best thing to do is be sure that you can upgrade without having to move or if you have to, what their procedures are.
Time in business, reliability and customer service are what is important in choosing a server. You want to know that when a problem arises, there is someone to call (and there will be some problem at some point).
Another thing to ask about is backup procedures...
