Web Hosting Reviews - Can You Trust Them?
By Kai Virihaur, Mon Dec 26th
The market is filled with web services providers of allshapes and sizes. In this jungle of companies, how doyou make a good choice? Should you trust the sites offering webhosting reviews?
Imagine doing a search on Google for "web company", andcoming up with around 1,700,000 hits! How can you possibly findthe best web plan for your needs among all those? Youmay look at the prices, thinking: "I will get a good deal bylooking for the cheapest web plan".
Well, not a good idea IMHO. Because of the fierce competitionbetween providers of web services, they often try to cutcosts by cutting down on support, and also by vastly oversellinghardware and bandwidth resources. The result: poor support andpoor reliability. Simply put: your website goes down, and nobodylistens to you when you try to tell your company aboutit.
What you want and need is not a cheap web plan, but agood web plan that fits your budget. Having realizedthis, you start looking around for advice on good web hosting.Now, chances are you will then stumble upon some web hostingreview site, which is happy to tell you that xyz.com is the verybest web provider in the world! Fine, you think, now myproblem is solved thanks to that piece of valuable information.
Wrong again - most likely. The truth is, that many web hostingcompanies pay very generous commissions to those who refer newcustomers to them.
