Default Most Reliable hosting

Hello All,

I would like to host my site, I have seen many hosting review sites.....I have noticed that thehost-review giving in depth knowledge on hosting companies and hence it did not take me long to decide. It is the best review site I have so far seen. I would welcome any suggestion and help.

Thanks,
Jim.

Hello All,

Well I think I have found the best hosting reviews on this site
thehostingcharts.com If someone need to buy a hosting package then they should
read some reviews at the above website

Thanks,
Jim.

I have tried HostReview : Expert Web Hosting Service Reviews and Web Host Guides previously. I tend to read the opinions of respected members of web design forums like here at the Developer Tutorials to gauge the quality of various web hosts. Host review sites are tarnished by very poor review sites which are biased for various reasons - usually biasing of ratings towards certain hosts.

A useful guide I have for determining the quality of reviews at a web hosting review site, is to look at the Google Page Rank (PR) of that site. If it is very low, I figure there is a higher chance that this is a bogus site. Those with higher PR are presumably more trust worthy due to the high number of quality backlinks they are receiving. This isn't a particularly reliable measure, but it is the only one I have.

By my crude method of measuring web hosting review sites, the one I linked to at the start of this post is twice as good as thehost-review and five times as good as thehostingcharts.com.

I always think those sites are paid by hosting companies to give them good reviews.

Most of those Web hosting "review" sites look suspect, especially because they never seem to include the better services that get most of their business through word-of-mouth, and not advertising.

There are very few unbiased host review sites out there, and it's difficult if not impossible to know which they are. I always ask forums for advice, then when I've got a list of possibles then do some searching to see if I can find examples of complaints/problems posted on forums/blogs.
