One-day hosting

The Russian-speaking hosting market has not yet clearly reached the age of majority, but the market growth rate is encouraging:
in September 2007, a million .ru domains, in March 2008, 2 million, and now almost 3 million.

Do you know how many hosting providers are in runet, in which one / usually young / person performs the duties of director, marketer, technical support employee, accountant, site editor and system administrator?
Presumably about 1000!

What you need to run a full-fledged hosting, which at first glance and can not be distinguished from a serious hosting with office, employees and other attributes of real companies?
≈ $ 150 per month to rent a server in a budgetary business center, to rent a billing panel and control panel.
Simple site with fares. Domain Everything!
Even a student now has such a starting capital.
And then ... Further, in the overwhelming majority of cases, a few months after the start, the owner of supermegahosting is disappointed in this business and is looking for where to drop the cargo from 10-50 clients.
There are plenty of examples.

Frequently such hosting:
1. Do not make backups on a dedicated server.
2. Have the property to close without warning.
3. Sold to larger hosting providers.
4. Lie for several days or not for long, but systematically.
5. Do not pay taxes.
6. Do not have a license for telematics and handed over a communication center (if it concerns Russia).

What are some ways to distinguish one-day hosting from those who are not the first year in this market?
Obviously, to break through the date of domain registration and search on the website 1stat.ru, in the "Categories" section of the list of hosting providers (detailed statistics are also available for each provider).
Finally, look for reviews in PS.

But not everything is so simple in our kingdom ...
More than 90% of young hosters have low prices, unloaded servers and really individual approach to each client. This will not give you any masterhost or majordomo, because large firms, for the most part, are like a conveyor ... Everything is on stream.

So how to be?
I believe that hosting should be taken from the average + must make backups yourself!
New hosting provider? - Dismiss ...
Hosting with a bunch of clients? - Well, what are you ...
Old, but small hosting with a positive reputation and without suspicious anlim? - Run Run!

And yet: if suddenly, after reading the post, you decided to create your own, best hosting on your knee, do not start. Think again. There are no freebies here.
