I'm not asking for any host recommendations, those are covered in other questions.

What are some good pre sales questions for asp.net shared hosting? They never seem to answer all the questions in their feature lists. So far I have a few:

dedicated application pool?
sql server management studio supported? Is tunneling required?
can I reset my application pool in the control panel?
are php and perl fully supported as well?
are subdomains supported, and will I need a routing script in the root or are they routed automatically?

etc.

Developers have a critical need for good hosting to stage applications. I think this is absolutely developer related and don't want the question on serverfault.
