If dedicated, a good facility with protection from thieves, a policy that guarantees protection from LEOs and other undesirable parties.
engineer time costs and minimum time increments?
I suppose most standard support ops expected to be free and if we are talking about "extra mile" kind of work, like remote hands, custom sysadmin work on behalf of the customer etc... it is not really something that most professional users are too worried about. For all I care, it could be up to 50-100$ an hour in 15 minute increments, or slightly higher depending on location and type of hosting. It is not uncommon for biz clients to pay their own sysadmins up to 100$/hour or more and they should not be too worried about this, particularly considering that when one has a proficient sysadmin involved need of such service almost never arises.

What do people want in their hosting packages?
often people want more simplicity and less bullshit and no rip-offs on optional components
What price point would be considered a rip-off on optional components?
monthly payment that pays off the component in less than one year is automatically suspect. Hosting biz is highly competitive.
Ah, I see - I thought you meant things like bandwidth, IP addresses etc.
What do you consider fair engineer time costs and what minimum time increments would be fair?

unlimited bandwidth.
Not going to happen.
Go on ANY site offering "unlimited" anything and ask them what your actual limits are. You'll get a response like 5 GB.
I'm very interested to know why people like seeing "unlimited"?
Do you anyone actually use unlimited?
Is it just appealing for those with low budgets?
Is it just because they 'promise' you unlimited?
Would a service that tells you exactly what you get not going to be better?
I'm genuinely curious about this because I actually want to understand.
I see a service offering unlimited anything attracting those that need a lot of that resource causing bottlenecks for everyone else.
I'd prefer a high quality reliable service than one pegged with resource hogs but that's just me.

Don't completely oversell, so that everyones sites isn't laggy.
I wasn't clear on what type of hosting?
If Web hosting - SSL certificate, SQL DB's and unlimited bandwidth.
If VPS or Dedi hosting - SSH and full unfettered access.
I may have missed another thread but this one doesn't make sense to me either.If Web hosting - SSL certificate, SQL DB's and unlimited bandwidth.
If VPS or Dedi hosting - SSH and full unfettered access.
I'd want the above if I was looking for web hosting.
Honestly, I want a copy of DigitalOcean that accepts bitcoin.

Every decent hosting provider provides this in one variation then the other. It's just service and price really : p

So raze wants a Vps o:
Basically, yeah. I wouldn't mind a low-end dedi either
But now we're heading into the pricier section of hosting. I need it to be cheap.
So raze wants a Vps o:
Oh, and SSH access plus the ability to run whatever services we choose.
Lots of bandwidth and decent processing power. Storage space is secondary to those two things.
I'm definitely not putting bitcoind with coins in shared hosting - I need to own the metal. If you can offer something like macminicolo, maybe.
