Reviews 101

By Logan Oulman

Are the web sites which compare and contrast the different web hosting services to be trusted? I am not sure. However, when selecting reliable web hosting service, it is important to find some useful research guides to help users choose the right web host for their personal or business website. On top of this, you will hopefully be able to find some independent reviews of the different providers that you are looking at. The best 5 web hosting review, rating and comparison sites are:

WebHostingTalk.com

This is truly the best because it provides reliable reviews posted in a timely fashion which will help you get ideas about obtaining better web hosting services. There, you can find webhosting reviews, advice, and discussion on hosting related news and services and get advice on dedicated server hosting, ecommerce systems, business webhosting, provider reviews, and hosting industry related news.

It provides unbiased, third party reviews (their true reliability is unclear) of the 10 most popular web hosting enterprises providing inexpensive services costing less than $10 monthly. With these hosting plans you will get a free domain name as well as a money back guarantee of 30 days or so.

This site is an industry-specific place to find webhosting news items, facts and various types of relevant material.

On top of this, theWHIR.com is a fantastic community that is comprised of people that truly care about web hosting and related services and technologies and will allow people to offer articles or comment on various trends.

webhostingmasters.com

At webhostingmasters.com, you can get a free guide that tells you what web hosting providers to go with. The web hosts have been picked by the editors and then they are given an exhaustive review that evaluates the overall hosting experience.

There is much quality information that you can glean from this site, but there are many other sites that are not as good in the industry. There are faceless web hosting service providers on webhostingmasters.com, in fact.

Completely independent reviews of web hosting providers is rare, though, as there is usually some bias involved or corporate interference. For this reason do not put all your faith in most of the reviews you read, use them to gain information but be sure to do as much research as possible when deciding upon the best provider for you.
