What's important to you in a VPS package?

Hello everyone!
My question is quite simple, and as stated in the title. When you look for a VPS, what's the most important factor to you? This can be almost anything, the CPU clock rates, cores, RAM, bandwidth, availability of IPv6, location, price, and so on.

Location and type of virtualisation..
I'm mostly interested in more unique or less-common locations. I tend to stay away from OpenVZ, and use KVM or VMWare.
The next factor is a control panel or some sort of management system.
Hello,
Test environment: Ram, network capacity/location, disk I/O performace.
Production environment: Backup, support, ram, network capacity/location, disk I/O performace.
Take a look at this thread, it resumes most of them:

RAM and disk space.
edit: but before talking about specs, host reputation first.
Dedicated Resource! No oversell.
Disk I/O and network.
Network, Support and DDoS Protection
Besides reliability I would say network performance, CPU and disk IO.
Location, Network and Price for testing
Location, Network and Performance for production.
Location, Cores, RAM
well it is another member looking for the provider tag it appears
That is works.
A lack of shithousery.
Provider doesn't open discussions asking people what's important to them in a VPS package.
Price, duh!
Disk space and price.
why kvm over OpenVZ?
When i'm looking for a VPS host I look for a provider that isn't posting useless threads in LET in order to get the 5 posts needed to post the first offer.
One of my primary considerations for a host is a fast CPU.
I don't know what happened to hosts offering 3GHz+ CPUs, they used to be abundant.
Nowadays there's only a select few.
support
location
network
hardware
What VPS hosts have you been using? Most I've tried (including the one I work for, dedistation.com) have newish E3/E5's.
Even my old Canada node has a E5-1620 0 at 3.60GHz.
Well, BuyVM used to offer the fast CPUs but they stopped offering them.
Vultr also stopped offering 3GHz+ CPUs.
I currently use RamNode, Vultr (old VM) and Hostigation.
I would say 90% of hosts offer < 2.4GHz CPUs.
cheap and usable
