How to find web hosting that meets my requirements? 5 answers

I have a test website that's hosted on a free plan by Zymic. At the moment I'm typing, it and my site is down. I don't want to let my clients down in the future.

It's been down for over 2 days. I thought it was a coding problem at first, and then found out I couldn't connect to my server.

Zymic had very good reviews, and its downtime was OK (not high or low), but now I want to change my web host. What should I look for (besides downtime guarantee)? Also, do you have any suggestions that with all the benefits?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
