Every call from the customer end should be attained and it should be resolved immediately. Technical support should be available 24/7 with a strong support team.

The lesser amount you pay the slower web server you get. So ask the web host to give list of website which is hosted on a single server. Try each website on your browser and check the speed of each website relatively.
