Hosting Reviews - The Good, The Bad, And The Bought-off

If you've been searching for web hosting lately

, you have stumbled onto webpage after web page of top ten web hosts. Unfortunately, none of these top ten lists rank the same ten companies in the same order. How are you supposed to decide based on these highly varied hosting reviews? There are several places you can start. First, decide on a few companies you want to really look into. There are enough hosting companies to spend to spend half your life investigating them, when the point is to actually get your website up and running quickly and well.

After you have a short list, one of the best sources to find out if a company is good or bad is their actual customers. Checking out customer reviews on a host site is a good idea. Often the host site has an open forum for clients that prospective clients can view. See how the host deals with complaints or problems and what the customers are saying to one another about the company. Don't just trust the reviews the company puts throughout the site as advertising. In the same cynical vein of thought, although the host site's forums are helpful, reinforce with searches into open forum sites about web hosting reviews.

When you go to an independent forum site specifically for web hosting reviews, you can often search by the company name to bring up reviews. In addition, pay attention to who is doing the reviewing. Are they actual customers or have they heard from someone that this company is good or bad? Check out the signature line to see if they provide the address for the website hosted by the company they are reviewing. A perusal of a few sites should make a few companies rise to the top of your list and others fall to the bottom. Keep in mind that unhappy clients are more likely to leave criticism than happy customers are to write positive reviews.

So, now you've read all those hosting reviews and have found the company you want to use. Before you sign up, send them off an email to see how they respond to customers with questions. Are they professional, friendly, and speedy with their response? However they treat you now will probably not get better as your experience with them lengthens. If they treat you well, go ahead and take the next step to creating your website. If not, you might want to consider going with number two on the list.
