Even though buying domains and web hosting has become a very simple task, yet the ton of options for the service provider almost always leaves you wondering. It is easier to buy a domain though, it doesn’t bother you much – a one time purchase, which will show up again, only after a year or two and well – the domain name doesnt need to be maintained always. But the hosting? Well that is what makes or breaks a website. How do you choose a good host? You ask your friends about their experiences, you survey the various service providers you know, you google search for reliable providers, and then you turn up to some one like the Webhosting Geeks for web hosting comparison and reviews.
Webhosting Geeks provide the service of reviewing and comparing the various web hosting service providers. They rate them on a number of factors including the quality of Tech & Customer Support, Server Software Management, Traffic Management, Uptime & Relaibility, Space Offered, Price, Quality and User Friendliness. The hosting providers are reviewed not only by their editorial team but also by a very strong and active member community. The editorial plus user reviews help determine the score for individual service providers, which is a score you and me can rely on.
In addition to the reviews of service providers, another feature of note is the categorisation of the service providers and the awards against these categories. The categories include Green hosting, VPS hosting, Dedicated servers, budget hosting, hosting for blogs, forums, ecommerce, windows/unix/php hosting, amongst many others. So while Inmotion leads both vps hosting and dedicated server hosting, GreenGeeks is the best green hosting and JustHost the best blog hosting.
users review services on many factors
The company not only provides in-depth information in their various hosting reviews, they also write a hosting blog which provides a lot of useful information about how to do stuff with web hosting. What would have added to the quality of the blog, though, would have been a more frequent rate of posting. It is around once a month right now, higher would be better.
With its many ups and downs, it makes for a decent collection of various hosting reviews and aids a lot in the making of a purchase decision for web hosting. We had a look at these, this new year when we had to decide to continue with our Pronet Hosting account. It might prove useful to you too, if you are considering buying a web hosting.
