I suspected this. Nice way by the way. Is there any place you can go to get an unbiased review because I am looking for a web host. I used one of these and ended up with Lunar pages and they are god awful.

Arrrgh!
Dot5 just caused me a great headache by shutting down my site because my podcast had “too much out-bound traffic”–this wasn’t even CLOSE to the 15,000 GB bandwidth they claimed to offer me. What is a good service, folks! …sigh. Okay. I got suckered by those sites, too.

Thanks for your comments. Sorry to hear about your experience with Lunar Pages. The best bet for hosting is to research well and avoid the so-called TOP 10 Hosts.

Very sorry to hear about your experience with Dot5. Yikes. Best of luck to you. Would like to learn more about your pod cast. Email me plz.

I’ve used lp for about 3 years now, and I must say that I have not had a reason to complain yet. My site has never been down, I’ve never had a problem with various payment methods, my band width is admiral, the panel is solid also. For me, it’s perfect. I have yet to have a problem with any site that I have designed on their servers…so, I dont know, maybe it’s just my luck.

That “reasearch well” is where I need help-How? I don’t know anyone personally that has a web site. Where should I look-anything you can point me to that gives a good unbiased review and/or summary?

so no suggestions for a reliable web host?

In the interests of objectivity, I don’t make web hosting recommendations… but after you watch the video, you will have a better idea as to what to look for. Bottom-line: Who would you rather host with? A company that puts 70 cents out of every dollar into marketing? Or a company that puts 70 cents out of every dollar into service and better equipment? Marketing grows a business, but superior service keeps clients

Thanks 4 the video! I’ve went through searching for a good web host but…You are right !

Sad but true.
scammedby takes care of it.

Very sad and very true! Thank you for posting this video! I’m in the process of trying to find a good website host.

hahaah u owned them with the affiliate links.

damn well said.

Excellent video. I always thought there was something fishy whenever I saw all of the same “ratings” for each hosting company. Thanks for the enlightenment.

Had a hosting with hostmonster – apparently our 15mb mysql database took up too much cpu – even though it was a standard openx install… they shut down the site without warning or contact until after the fact on a Sunday night at 6pm and after 40 minutes on hold said there was no way to get it back online until 8am the next morning… i begged to get the cpanel and ftp back which they did so i could go somewhere else.
insanely unprofessional.

im a newbie but SOOON to be a pro lol..but i was wondering if someone could answer this question “what is an affiliate link is it the same thing as a backlink?….like if u put a link on your site saying come over to there site is it that kind of deal??????

One of these days someone will think of a great way to put together a search engine that will search out sites that give good true information.

Thank you, you saved me from paying money to an unethical company and probably saved me from a slew of headaches. I almost went with the advice of one of the “top 10″ web hosting reviews.

eye opener …. THANK YOU … im looking to launch a e store soon and ive been searching for a good host which provides good cart and additional features like multiple currencies, tax options and international shipping options plus preferably with a shared SSL certificate …

who would you recommend for a good hosting plan or do you think network solutions, ebaym yahoo stores or amazon webstores are a better option … thanks for the video and any help.

I suspected this 10 years ago when these kind of site started to flourish.
BTW, Could you give me a favor by telling me what’s the soundtrack please ?

I’m with you! I am looking for a good web host to get companines to advertise on my site. I tried justhost. Its a bate and switch and misleading. You ask for one package and they give you another. and the say you get your money back, but they keep some. Even if you never used there site. They play with your sanity. Don’t go there. Please help.

the size of your database in MB has nothing to do with CPU use. You could have 1000mb database that is never queried and uses no CPU. or you could have a 1mb database that get 1 million queries a day.

Ok, I thought this as well. Not shocking really. Follow the money trail to find out business’s (in this case, web hosting reviewers) motives. So pertinent question : What are some good unbiased/unlobbied sites for considering a good web host provider?

very good work brother..

I’m glad someone finally did this, I run a small family webhosting company and instead of buying reseller accounts we bought our own machines, got into it at webhostingtalk and got my head handed to me by these kind of people, all it takes is money, all I want to do is offer a good service

These really helped me to build my homepage, I can really appreciated if people take some time and write a usefull tutorial.
