On what basis a person should select Hosting partner for their Website? What qualities one should check before purchasing Hosting?
What hosting did you choose?
Well im sure there are many factors , Your server resonse is a big one for me. I read a google research page that correlates ranking not with fully loaded speed but with ttfb, time to first byte , The faster the ttfb the higher the ranking regardless of loading time. Ofcourse this may be because some shared hosting services do not allow keep alive connections to be on. Also the downtime of a site is a major thing , if google wants to crawls your site but your hosting is down for a bit is causes major implications as google has a "crawl budget".
I think before choosing any hosting provider you must know the reviews of their services and for that you need to research some good hosting providers list. I think you should go through the list of hosting providers to differentiate which one is the best for you in providing good services.

One thing i noticed now as google and search engines are pushing the https issue, i.e browsers are from july warning users against websites that are just plain http. The better more up to date hosts are now auto applying lets encrypt https to new websites, that is another thing to look for.
When choosing a web hosting service the primary factors are reliability and relevance. It's wise to choose a host who keeps up to date on changes in search engine criteria and security issues because this greatly reduces the number of working hours you and your team must commit to these efforts.
The mentioned points are all very important, I agree. A great and fast customer service should also be a point for your decision.
