hosting

Assume we know nothing about web hosting but need to get a site online. What questions do we need to ask potential web hosting companies? What are the pitfalls and places where things can go terribly wrong? Are there any general good or bad things to be on the lookout for? Site could be anything from basic HTML up to e-commerce. We're looking for general thoughts that could apply to any web hosting. Thanks!
