In order of importance: reliability, speed at which initial connection to the Web site is made, speed at which the Web site operates, quality of support, and cost.  Of course there are other factors, but we will concentrate on these for now. 

Although Host Country USA offers competitively priced hosting services, they still put more emphasis on reliability, speed and support.  Give some thought to this scenario: Company A is an online marketer and has a Web site that generates $200 per day.  Company A then decides to open a Web hosting account with a hosting company publishing suspiciously low-prices.  They look far and wide and find a hosting company charging $3/month less than Host Country USA.  Company A signs up for an annual service contract with Suspiciously Low-Priced Hosting, Inc. and publishes their site to the net.  A few months pass, and Company A learns that they have been averaging only $180 per day for the previous two months while suffering a low user visitation count.  They do some investigating and discover that people have been having trouble getting onto the Web site, and for the people that were able to connect, performance was poor.  Company A management gets involved and decides to pull the plug on Suspiciously Low-Priced Hosting, Inc.  Result: Company A saved $3/month on hosting and lost $1200 in sales over a two month period.  They also have to deal with trying to get out of an annual contract.

Host Country USA's number one priority has always been investing in high-quality equipment and communication services.  All hosting equipment is maintained in facilities delivering powerful OC-3 and OC-12 bandwidth, and then connected to the backbone of the Internet.  Additionally, Host Country USA is not a dial-up service provider.  This assures you that your Web site remains available at all times and operates reliably with as much speed as your Web site requires.
