Are you looking for web hosting? If you want to set up a personal web page , or a modest commercial one, you are most likely in the sell for an inexpensive shared hosting plan. Those entry-level plans can cost $5-10 per month, and fairly often boast very generous features for that modest prize. However, the strong competition commonly causes the businesses to oversell, and then have difficulties living up to their promises. And how do you go about telling the dazzling ones from the bad?

 

Maybe you go to one of the many web hosting review sites. Those places can offer extensive listings of various web hosting companies and their features; which is certainly helpful. But be aware of the fact that these review sites are out there to make lots of money by referring new customers to the hosting companies! Therefore, they tend to praise those businesses that pay them the best.

 

I used to be naive about these things, trusting the review sites. That was until I began some serious research on the subject myself. We are they really so sizeably efficient, those much-praised web hosting businesses ? Soon, I was able to uncover large amounts of customer testimonials that told a different story.

There we are many angry customers that related stories about incompetent or non-existent customer support, billing disputes where the company kept charging ex-customers after they had cancelled their accounts; and more.

 

One can say that any business with many customers is likely to have a few that are hard to please. But in these cases, there were scores of reviews, and the majority was negative! Since certain hosting companies are known to prosecute those who have criticized them in public, I will not mention any names here.

 

In conclusion: I advice anyone looking for a reliable and honest web hosting provider to be very careful and not put too much trust in the web hosting ratings often found at hosting review sites and similar places. Also be aware that the customer feedback
