Web Hosting Review Sites Exposed

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 12:48:06 +1100

Saw this video on YouTube the other day, which leads to this website that exposes dirty secrets of web hosting review sites.

It is basically preaching the same message that DreamHost blogged about almost 2 years ago. None of these web hosting review sites are reliable because top spots can usually be bought with monthly subscription fee. Either that or a hefty affiliation payout. Basically they should have renamed the top 10 hosting companies to the Top 10 Web Hosting Companies that Pay Me The Most. Funny that the site is hosted on GoDaddy, which quite often appears on those “top web hosting site” lists as well.

What About Paid Reviews?

I guess the same issue goes to many web hosting related articles/blog site as well, where sometimes it can be difficult to tell whether a review on a blog is genuine or not. Any money changed hands for this particular post? Are the links full of affiliation IDs? I was reading Daw Web Hosting Blog and Dimitar has pointed out an increasing number of paid-review blogs on web hosting, and those paid reviews can usually mislead consumers over purchasing decisions, as many people search for “<company name> review” thinking they got postive reviews from genuine customers.

I am not saying I am sinless in this department. I did a paid review a year ago on a UK hosting company when I tried out ReviewMe (although I can’t see any sale pitch in that article). As Dimitar said, I think doing those paid reviews might hurt the credibility of this site in the long run. I have since cancelled my ReviewMe account, and turned down many review requests — most are generic oversellers that offer nothing unique anyway.

Any Genuine Reviews Out There?

With paid listing and paid reviews littering the net, I am afraid to say that it can be almost impossible to find genuine reviews. Most website owners don’t write about them when things are smooth sailing so all the positive reviews ended up coming from the paid review sites.

One alternative is to search through Web Hosting Talk forums (where all the disgruntled customers whinged about their web hosting companies). Again, lots of negative reviews and sometimes I doubt how genuine some of the positive reviews are over there.

I guess there is no “The Best Host” where everyone raves about unconditionally. Do a bit of research making sure there are not too many negative reviews. Give them a try without committing too much up front. Make sure you do not purchase domain from the same place where you purchase hosting accounts. And this is important — do daily backups so you can move over to the next host if anything does go wrong…

The WHIR TV team has done a lot of great coverage for Web Hosting Day 2008. I thought I would share some of the content with you since you, much like myself probably were not able to attend the event.

Hopefully the WHIR TV team will be keep putting out more great coverage from these events ...]

BlueHost News

1 Mar 2008 - Here we go again BlueHost.com has again increased their bandwidth
to 15,000 GB per month and increased their disk space to 1,500 GB. This is more
than double what they were offering just 4 months ago. However this certainly
shows that BlueHost is dedicated to giving their customers ample resources.

8 Dec 2007 - Well BlueHost has done it again. They have just doubled their
diskspace and bandwidth. This means you now get a huge 600GB of diskspace of
bandwidth and 6000GB of transfer. This should be enough to satisy even the most
bandwidth and diskspace hungry site. With these offerings and BlueHost's
unmatched reliability, BlueHost is undoubtedly the best value for money host out
there at the moment. I have had this site hosted on BlueHost for over 3 years
now and it's been an exceelent experience. I highly recommend BlueHost.com

1st Jan 2007 - BlueHost has just increased their plan offerings from 50GB
diskspace to 300GB diskspace and bandwidth has increased from 999GB to 3000GB.
For $6.95/month the plan that is being offered by BlueHost is undoubtedly the
best around. A great plan along with unbeatable support and custom service makes
BlueHost the top choice for web hosting. Just 2 years ago when I first wrote
this BlueHost review they were offering only 1GB of hosting space and 50Gb of
bandwidth. It is a clear sign that BlueHost is moving with the times.

My Experience With BlueHost

This site has been hosted with BlueHost for about 3 years (since July 2004) and
I have been nothing but impressed by BlueHost's superior support and
reliability. Their Phone and email support staff are extremely knowledgeable and
friendly. BlueHost offers A-Grade service and features for a very low price. If
you are looking for a cheap, reliable and feature packed host I highly recommend
BlueHost.com . I have hosted with many hosts including webcentral, globat and
ipowerweb, but nothing compares with BlueHost.

About BlueHost.com

Way back in 1996 the web hosting industry saw the introduction of yet another
webhost in BlueHost.com, another addition to an already growing list of service
providers. Many other service providers have come and disappeared since then,
but with their reliable service coupled with friendly and patient support staff
(rated as best support staff of 2005) BlueHost sits comfortably among the best
in the hosting business today.

Hosting Plans from BlueHost

BlueHost offers a great low-cost, high quality plan for only $6.95 a month, the
plan includes free registration of one domain name, 1,500 GB of hosting space,
and a huge 15,000 GB of bandwidth hosted on high performance Xeon servers which
are currently the best in the industry. One of the greatest advantages of
BlueHost is that you can host unlimited domains on one account this is a huge
saving if you have more than 1 site or excellent if you plan on making more.
With this plan you also get many added features like 2500 POP3 web based emails,
5 addon domains, FTP, PHP, CGI, cPanel and a lot more features that provide you
with the highest level of value for your money. Do a little search and
comparison and you�ll find that only BlueHost offers so much for such a low
price.

Administration staff, real time support the best support staff around and a
solid and honest business. They always have redundant parts on hand in the event
that there is a hardware failure of some type. The staff at BlueHost is highly
skilled and specialised in designated work areas and they can work to solve any
problem if it arises quickly and effectively. The BlueHost review has been
conducted as we find BlueHost to be very reliable and very good for sites that
always need to be available.

Support

For the package that they offer and the mass amount of clientele they have,
customer support at the highest level is a must. BlueHost delivers at that level
by providing quick and responsive support. A complete searchable database of
FAQ's, knowledge base and flash tutorials are all provided at their website just
to get you and your site going in the right direction. In addition, you can also

through awards year after year. These include top host awards from major hosting
directories and review sites such as Web Hosting Jungle and Web Hosting Doctor .

fall. Today BlueHost stands differentiated as one of the most reliable and value
