What the key factors which are really required to measure quality and reliability of a web hosting service?

Pretty much feedback, just do a google search on the company and you'll find reviews. If they are new and no feedback comes up, then contact support, see how long they respond. Check for website errors/miss-spellings.

I would not solely rely on reviews alone. But contact their sales department to get a response time and ask if you can get a free trial to see if you like their services prior to buying.

Also see if they have live chat and hold a Q/A session and ask as many questions as you can to a live person to see how well they respond and answer to get an idea of how knowledgable they are on their products.

Try to read customer hosting reviews. Google search will also help you to find any possible sings of reliability about web hosting provider you are interested in.

Response time is vital. I would also suggest reading through the hosting structure - is it something that's going to keep your site online all the time? A lot of cloud hosts these days are providing structures where if your server goes down - its instantly served via a different server. That's not something you get from the average host - so its deff something I'd look in to!

Agreed! the main factor of reliable host is big number of positive customers reviews

try to find some online reviews.
Join forums and ask people about a particular host.
You can also check Alexa.com to find how much traffic they're getting.

Thanks

Your signature points to a web hosting provider and you should be answering such questions. I'm sorry but such a question is quite naive when it comes form a hosting provider rep. It looks like created from a "hired forum poster".

On the topic: i would suggest one to use both external and internal (inside the network where the sites/servers are hosted) monitoring tools.

Just make sure, whoever you pick, to do your homework. Web hosting is kinda like going on a job interview.. "its all about being at the right place at the right time." just because 50 other people may have bad experiences, doesn't mean you will.
