Hi All,

I am developing a searchable directory of web hosting companies, not unlike what is already offered by many of the web hosting directories.

I am trying to come up with a list of features with which the database of Dedicated Hosting companies can be searched. Standard dedicated hosting features are obviously much more difficult to list than shared hosting since shared packages are usually distinguished by bundled features whereas dedicated packages are distinguished by the power of the box.

I don't want to provide users the ability to search by power (chip, storage, bandwidth, ram etc.); I want them only to search by feature.

The input I would love from this board, then, is what feature offerings would make the searching of a database of dedicated hosting companies most useful and relevant.

All I can think of is operating system:

- Cobalt RAQ
- Windows NT
- Windows 2000
- Linux
- FreeBSD
- OpenBSD
- Sun

Thank you for considering the list and providing your input.

Regards,

Sammy
