Web Hosting Reviews - Buyer Beware?

author Posted by: James Norris | filed Filed under: Hosting Tips & Advice

 

You may think that when getting ready to start up an online blog or business, that reading web hosting reviews are the way to go in helping with your decision making process. Since choosing a web host is such a huge decision, let’s go through a couple of things before you have your mind set on those web hosting reviews.

First we’ll talk about testimonials and reviews on a particular web hosting company’s website. All of the reviews that you will find on these sites will be positive reviews. Some might say that they are even a little over the top with positive information about the web hosting service provider. What does this say about the company? Well, it either tells us that the company is actually the best that there is available to us or it tells us that they have hired someone to write these top notch reviews. Although some of the reviews might be of actual customers, it could also mean that since the company has the resources to filter the information coming through to them, they have the ability and reason to delete the negative reviews.

Some company’s have affiliate websites. They work together such as websites like eBay and Pay-Pal work together. These companies have every opportunity to advertise through their affiliate websites and post reviews through them so that customers don’t think that it’s the website posting the reviews.

There are plenty of web hosting review sites on the Internet as well. The funny thing about that is, that each and every one of the top web hosting lists on the sites is completely different than the next. How can you trust something that changes so drastically with each click of a button?

If you are insistent on using web hosting reviews to help you make your final decision, I fell that the best reviews to use are those found in threads on web hosting forums. Because of web hosting forums, people from all over the world are able to include their input on a certain company. These include good details and bad details. Either way, you can rest assured that these reviews are more reliable than any other reviews out there.

At the end of the day, you really want to choose the company that you feel will work the best for you. If you will be using reviews to help guide you in your decision making process, use only reviews with positive and negative information. Discard any review with strictly positive information. Talk to customer service and ask plenty of questions before making your final decision.

Web Hosting and Hosting Reviews

author Posted by: James Norris | filed Filed under: Hosting Tips & Advice

 

As you probably already know, the Internet is a great thing when it comes to knowledge. With the Internet, there is hardly a need for dictionaries or encyclopedias anymore. The technology keeps building and it doesn’t show any signs of stopping anytime soon. With that in mind, consider that since anyone is able to purchase a web domain from a web hosting service provider, anyone is also able to put whatever information they want to on the Internet. This information cycles through the screens of computers everywhere. That being said, you have to know what information to take seriously and what information should be discarded.

Open your web browser. Type in the World Wide Web address to your favorite search engine. Now type in top web hosting companies. How many search results come up? By clicking on any of these results, you are allowing false information to be fed to you. These companies all want their customers and hopeful customers to think that their web hosting service is top notch; the best that there is. All of these sites come with a top-number list, and they ALL say something different. No two websites will have the same list of top sites. Pretty frustrating, right?

Now if you were to visit the website of a web host that you are thinking about purchasing from, you would find a section with reviews and testimonials. There is almost a 100% guarantee that these testimonials have come from people who either work for the web hosting company or that they are from people who are affiliated with the web hosting company.

Most of the reviews and testimonials you will ever read about a company will flatter the web host. The review will contain all positive information, instead of reflecting some of the positive experiences a person has had along with some of the negative experiences a person has had with a particular company. An honest review is one with both aspects of the company. Any review with only positive points is a dishonest review. Every company has both positive and negative aspects to it. A good place to find honest reviews are on web hosting forums. On a forum, you have the ability to say what you want about a particular company and that company doesn’t have the resources to filter out the bad reviews.

What it comes down to is knowing what you want from a service provider. Web hosting reviews just aren’t enough when it comes time for you to make the decision on which web host to work with. Talk to companies and others people that you know who have used different web hosting service providers before. In the end, try to remember that no matter how good a company may seem from an online review, there is something they aren’t telling you. If you feel that you need to use reviews to make your final decision, only use those reviews that have both positive and negative points made.

How Useful Are Positive Web Hosting Reviews?

author Posted by: James Norris | filed Filed under: Hosting Tips & Advice

 

Web hosting reviews can be found all over the Internet. From websites affiliated from one host or another, to web hosting forums. With so many marketing schemes out there, how can you tell whether a positive web hosting review is useful or not?

First, you should know that every single web hosting service provider there is, claims to be the cream of the crop. They all feel that they offer something so much better than the next guy, so you should host your site through them. What they don’t let you in on are the negatives that come along with using them as your web site host. Any web hosting provider website you go to will have a section of reviews, or testimonials. Obviously, the companies filter the testimonials so only the positive ones are shown on their site.

Many web hosting companies also use affiliate websites to promote their services. If you come across a review for any company, read through it. Does it contain strictly positive information and experiences that people have had through this web host? In most cases, if there is no negative information, it is an affiliate website posting the information for the web hosting service provider.

The best reviews to use when it comes to choosing a web host are the reviews that highlight both the positive and the negative aspects of the company. The best place to find these reviews are on web hosting forums, where anyone can post anything they want. Very few, if any, of these reviews will be over the top with positive information about the company. Most often than not, the posts will read in a format that goes something like: positive, positive, positive
but just these one or two negatives.  

If you can, find a positive review from one website and a negative review from another. Compare them. Decide whether or not you feel the reviews are reliable, truthful reviews or if they are scripted reviews. Research and investigation both play very important roles when it comes to making a decision regarding your web hosting service provider, so try to read and understand everything; including the small print. If there is something that you don’t understand, ask questions.

To summarize, remember that every web host wants you to think that they are the best that there is and they will use every marketing scheme there is to prove it to you. Whether it is hiring people to post positive reviews in forums, or using affiliates to market their services, there is something that the company isn’t telling you. Use reviews that state positive and negative aspects of the company. These should be the most trusted. And last but not least, ask questions when they arise. Once you do all of these things and choose the company that you feel will offer you the best services and reliability, you will be a very happy customer.  Better yet, you’ll the very happy owner of a web domain.
