Is Online Hosting Review Helping?

By Justin Knights

Many people use online web hosting review to help them make choices when it comes to choosing a web hosting company. However, the truth is another issue because many hosting review sites are paid to write reviews and even earn commission from the sales of the hosting plan. Therefore, we can really trust 100% of what written in the web reviews.

If you do a search on reviews about web hosting, you will find tons of results. If you were to use Google AdWords to market the review, you will need to pay approximately $14 to $18 just to have a top 3 position. Therefore, we can have an idea of what they earn because the amount of money spent in advertising is relatively high.

However, we are not saying that web hosting review sites are totally useless. They often provide a lot of information for customers. They can provide you information regarding the packages provided by different companies. Some even provide you with coupons to give you discount for packages in the first month of your subscription. Therefore, always check out more than 5 reviews to get a clearer idea on the hosting company. Once you are done reviewing the company, you then proceed to visit the hosting company directly.

When you do that, your motive is to compare the information from the company and the information from the website review. This is important because there are cases that the review you read was outdated. Therefore, if you come across difference in the information, do not panic. Just get to the bottom of things. Next, you should check the feedback from their existing customers from related forums. In this case, you ca already know how good that particular company is.

In conclusion, we hosting reviews is always considered as a guideline for you to make decision on which company you will eventually choose to host your website. However, you must be cautious and check all areas before you actually sign with the company. Most review websites are keen in making money but we can't say that they are liars. All we have to do is to be careful and smart when we make decisions and do not fall for cheap tricks or packages that will ruin your business.
