I used to be happy only with a cPanel, which is already the norm as a hosting control panel. I used to love annual billing, where I paid once and use it for a year. I used to love the gigantic web space and bandwidth provided even when paid a little. I used to satisfied with our local web host.

Not anymore.

With the rise of new technologies and new demands, our local web hosts remained stagnant. I'm not asking our local web hosts to become like Heroku, SliceHost, Rackspace Cloud or Linode. But I can wish, can't I?

I wish I could be billed monthly, fairly. 'Fairly', as in not forcing me to subscribe to annual/biennial subscription by charging a premium for monthly subscriptions, or worse, not even providing the option for monthly subscriptions.

I wish I could only pay for the features I need. I don't need the GBs and TBs of space and bandwidth and whole lot of other useless features, and I'm certainly not paying for others if they use it from my own pocket.

I wish they support Git. I want to update my site with a simple 'git pull', instead of uploading the whole directory with FTP.

I wish they would be more focus. It's about not spending so much resources on other stuffs (like marketing, launching new products, going into new sectors), but instead, focus on providing the best hosting experience to the existing customers (like stable and fast server, responsive and helpful support). This is actually pretty tricky and not as easy as it sounded. But if achieved, a happy customers will tell their friends, families, colleagues about that awesome local web host for many many years to come.

Well, that's about it. Are those too much to wish for?
