For my business web pages, I need to know that others on the net 
can get my pages most of the time without lengthy delays or the 
server cancelling the transfer part way through.  With problems 
like these, few people will ever actually see my pages, and many 
will just think my business is flakey.  No presence is better than 
bad presence.

I'd also like to see addressing in the form of:
  http://www.mycompany.com/
rather than:
  http://www.mycompany.com/www/mycompany/
It's a lot easier to remember and fits well in other media advertising.
I'm looking at servers in other parts of the country that offer this 
service at reasonable prices, maybe to have a local account just 
to ftp my pages to that server.

The great advantage of the web is the ability to supply a lot more 
information than you can with other media.  I currently have 3meg 
of info available.  Some providers are charging $750/month for 5meg 
of space.  I'm inclined to think that's rather high unless your site is 
really seeing a lot of action.

Does anybody know of good local (Tucson) options that meet these 
criteria?  Are there other criteria that should be considered?
