Top 10 Best Web Hosting Reviews – SCAMS EXPOSED
April 18th, 2010 |

Are “HOST REVIEW” sites honest? Are they unbiased, impartial, and factual… or are they just after your money? How does a hosting company get on the “top 10″ list?
Amazingly most hosting reviews websites have one thing in common: They are getting paid by hosting companies for reviews (either directly in the form of advertising or indirectly via affiliate commissions) — making their reviews extremely biased, one-sided, and highly questionable in terms of accuracy. They all promote the same group of companies.
The reason that the same hosting companies always make it to the “top” of the hosting comparison charts is because those companies, one way or another, pay to be listed there. These hosts include Host Monster, Blue Host, Lunar Pages, IX Webhosting, InMotionHosting, StartLogic, Host Pappa, Pow Web, etc.
It’s a well-known fact web hosting companies running their Affiliate Programs through Commission Junction offer among the highest affiliate commissions in the hosting industry. Thus “clever” PPC (pay per click) affiliate marketers decided: why not create websites with “top web hosting companies” lists and list these companies as “top”?
Hosting company reviews seldom base their “rating” on their quality of service (although many claim to). Instead, most of them rate a webhost on the *size* of the affiliate commission. Those web hosts offering the highest commissions usually get the top spots — because those hosting companies pay the most money.
So the next time you’re looking for the best web hosting company (and you undoubtedly come across a “reviews” site), STOP AND THINK: What’s their true objective? Are they providing you with impartial, unprejudiced facts? Or are they simply selling you a bill of goods, deceptively packaged in a “Top-10″ list bought and paid for in the Twilight Zone?

@BarbieRetiree CNET …
@BarbieRetiree CNET is a great source for tech information and articles, but beware of their forums. They are poorly moderated and moderators seldom respond when inaccurate or flame/hate speech is reported nor do they seem proactive when it comes to removing obviously false posts.
Anyone can post a review on CNET, but there is very little oversight. Get your tech info from CNET, but if you want honest hosting reviews CNET is not the place (in my opinion).
I want to complain …
I want to complain this company call Webshaper or neowave who sells shopping cart. Their shopping cart is so cheapskate.
The functionality of their cart is not user-friendly.
Certain common features are missing. When I ask them about it, they said is in future enhancement plans.
Any small inquiries or favor from their service, they will ask you to upgrade to more expensive package.
I got cheated by their demo cart. Screw them.
Thanks for this …
Thanks for this video!
What do you think about CNET’s hosting reviews? It seems like they might be, at least, partially honest?? What’s your opinion?
I don’t recommend …
I don’t recommend any particular host in order to maintain the objectivity of the video.
What about everybody else? Have you had a problem with a particular web host? Get taken in by a fake hosting reviews site?

@goldduo You …
@goldduo You certainly should have been refunded for the remainder of your time.
@tritongre 3) That …
@tritongre 3) That would probably be an issue with Fantastico and not the host. They have no control over how the script works.
@llwyth Wait you’re …
@llwyth Wait you’re saying people who pay for web hosting are getting scammed? Free hosting is unreliable and slow. Paid hosting is the way to go but make sure you don’t choose a host that oversells. For example godaddy.
I was searching for …
I was searching for “Best Web Host” and “Hosting Reviews” and “Best Host” and all of that and I came across your video, Best Web Hosting Reviews.
Thanks so much for this. I had no idea hosting companies were cheating people by making fake “hosting reviews” sites.
Still, I don’t know who the best web host is. Do you have any suggestions? How do I find the best host?
