Foreign Perspectives

It’s such a thankless task, isn’t it?

There seem to be thousands of hosting services out there and really not that much to distinguish between them when you start comparing what they offer. These days, you can pretty much take it as read that you’ll have more storage capacity and bandwidth than you’ll ever need on even the lowest rung of the plans.

However, webhosting top 10 lists can be a big help with this. Sadly, none of them are perfect but that’s not the fault of the review sites but rather down to the constantly changing offerings of the hosting companies themselves. For example, you get dot5hosting.com quoted as being “the WORST ever” and “excellent” which basically reflects a change to the worse that happened fairly recently. Slightly worryingly for me, hostgator don’t seem to figure in any of the recent top 10s despite topping them not so long ago.

What’s useful too is categories within the top 10s. Clearly if you’re wanting budget priced hosting what may be a top 10 for you will be entirely different than if you were shooting for top of the line service as your selection criteria.

Don’t forget that you’re not tied to your existing hosting service so don’t put up with bad service from them.
