Foreign Perspectives

As you know we had something of a nightmare experience trawling through various hosting services earlier in the year before we settled on one (for now). It wasn’t that we were using cheapo services either although ironically the cheapest service was by far the most reliable and we were only forced to dump it when it turned out that their service was just not good enough when we finally hit a problem with them.

Web hosting rating is hoping to change that and the signs so far look good. For instance, they’re currently working through a series of web hosting articles which addresses lots of the issues that I ran into myself. For example, their one on checking out a cheap service is very obvious to me now but only with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. In my own case it was the technical support that I found was bad both among the cheaper hosts and some relatively expensive ones. So far, I’ve been lucky with the speed but the final point they make in the article does worry me a little as the current host are known for offering “the moon” so perhaps that’ll cause me some problems down the line a ways.

We’re going to be reviewing our hosting after the summer and all being well I’ll be able to have a more balanced assessment of potential hosts via WHR.
