Any reliable hosting reviews site.

In real Wenhostingpad Has Positive And Negative Sides:
Pros:

Easy to use CPanel
Unlimited number of MySQL databases and email accounts
Small websites usually don't have problems with downfalls and bad uptime
The support is available 24/7
Operators are polite and responsive with American clients

Cons:

Disk space is limited to 10Gb and bandwidth to 100 Gb
You can't upgrade your account to bigger rates of disk space and bandwidth, if your website is e-commerce or contains a lot of multimedia files
The security of servers is low
The servers are incompatible with Adobe Dreamweaver TLS encryption


Sometimes the technical support staff refuses to answer complicated questions, saying that helping out newbies is a separate service with additional payment.
The website is put on Automatic Renewal by default, which means that you're charged on a permanent basis even if you're not updating your site, using e-mail accounts or even if you cancelled the contract. Customers aren't informed about this feature beforehand.
Sometimes the clients are signed up to additional paid services without notice.
The company has a poorly established system of payment and service delivery for non-U.S. users.
All promotions and ads are only valid in case of signing a contract for a period of 5 years.
Frequent website downfalls.

The company doesn't provide backup for free.
Closing websites without prior notice for exceeding the limit of disk space or bandwidth.
The staff answers letters with one sentence, disconnects users from live-chat and voice calls, or puts them on hold.

So, during the 7 years of its existence, WebHostingPad hasn't manage to achieve success in either organizing a qualified technical support staff, nor in providing stable work of its websites. One positive of this company is the price. WebHostingPad is good for small e-commerce projects.


I should say that nor all the hosting reviewing sites are the same, some of them provide quite useful information with the investigations which you won't find anywhere.

 

As it's described above, I want to highlight some of the following:

- Avoid companies having the hidden fees - the price well-visible on the plan, should be final, or you'd have an option choices stating the cost of any particular service.
- During the payment, it must show the explanation what's a recurring period you're signing up and must not continue to charge upon the cancellation.
- Helping newbies must be a key priority for the customer support staff
- Daily or weekly backups should be available for free
- If overquota or bandwidth overusage occurs, customer should receive a notification

Before signing up, ask the provider via live chat/phone/ticket if they are ok to care properly.

 

there is no such thing as a realiable one really.... good ones seem to go affy over time

 

This website could be useful one - http://www.webhostranking.com/tag/wordpress-hosting/

 

Try hostlaker.com

 

You would be better off visiting webhostingtalk and reading reviews on the forums from customers of each web host, rather than reading biased reviews on "review sites".

 

That website doesn't look different then any other affiliated one... There's even no provider submission form exists, so it's hard to believe it's completely genuine..

 

I think webhostingstuff is the best review website.

 

Which site are you speaking about?

 

Webhostingw and similar ones..

 

i used godaddy a while but i dont like the control panel
i also use global2000hosting (this IS NOT my site), they are cheap and the owner (Allen) is really helpful. Have my main site with them for 10y. Support is really good. I don't know if there are reviews on it but google it i guess

 

We are in business and never paid to anyone to post review and see we don't have much reviews. proves 99% clients do not post reviews if they are happy with their hosts.

 

What is interesting is that the client who is satisfied will never write a review that is satisfied with the hosting provider and the services it provides are fine.

Only when the problem with the site appears, the client starts writing on different forums that the quality of the company is not perfect( even when his site uptime is 99,8%).

 

Depends how do you communicate with your clients, they might be happy to share few good words about your hosting service and I'm speaking from our experience.

Wetbupa, I don't have anything against your site, but the amount of such review sites with almost same information on them makes people think they're affiliated.

 

I understand what you mean.

Not in our case

 

I deal with hawkhost.com << very good.

 

I use internationaltrader.org Best reviews I've seen yet, they don't have user reviews yet though... It's a simple numeric review system.

 

^^ Best advice in this thread.

 

This doesn't look as a review site, but promotion.
http://webhostinggeeks.com/user-reviews/ is also good hosting review site.

 

All the review sites, in any niche (not only hosting), are getting paid via affiliate programs. The hosting companies pays a lot (average $75 - $100 per referred customer), so I doubt that you'll find a single review site that has 100% reliable reviews.

Even on forums like WebHostingTalk or DP, there are many users that are promoting/recommending their own host using different forum accounts. And they not only promote one host, but also spread bad words about the competition.
Open a thread like "bluehost vs fatcow" and you'll see how many users will recommend you other hosts excepting these two.

I maintain a few hosting reviews sites where the most reviews are posted by DP users. And yes, I paid for those reviews. I never influenced them what to post, we are accepting and publishing both positive and negative reviews without exception. But there is still possible that few of the users to be in any relation with a hosting company and to praise it more than a regular customer would do (or to write negative reviews about the competitors).

The only 100% reliable review is from someone that you know in person (friends, colleagues etc). And even in that situation, it is still possible to have problems with a host recommended by him, even he didn't had any problems.

So, good luck (you really need some luck when buying a hosting service)
