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 …

good tutorial do you know Jimmy Ruska(Jimmyrcom) at all? If not you should look him up on youtube sometime.
@dfreysinger I am not sure what this response has to do with webhosts that use fake review to pump their bottomline.
@goldduo I would love to get a more detailed account from you on my blog in regards to your inmotion problems.
@llwyth The problem is not so much that they are affiliates, its the pretending to review and give a positive spin to mislead people into believing they are getting a good deal. The other problem is that more focus in spending on affiliates and advertising then actual spending on customer care.
@bearwoodbrown Those “awards” are nothing more then affiliates, there not real companies. They award whomever pays the most on commissions. They don’t bother to try the hosts to create real reviews.
@imfase I am trying my best to be at the top of those results
@sgtpete1 I have not done any research on hostmonster yet, but I can tell you that I would not go to hostgator since they have a extremely high affiliate payout. Plust hostgator at this time is number 5 on webhostingstuff’s top 25 list.
@alexandrubalaci33 Just host is number 2 on webhostingstuff’s top 25, they have a a really huge affiliate payout. I am sorry but they use fake reviews. I am happy your having no problems at this time. But if I were you once the problems start happening I would migrate to a host that does not use fake reviews and does not pay out extremely high payments to affiliates.
@heightboosting inmotion is number 6 on webhostingstuff’s top 25 list, so I have to say there not a company to consider, especially since they have a over the top affiliate payout. I will actually doing a blog post about them tomorrow.
What is the best web hosting?
@1996quique It’s a link that company that host the reviews get paid for every time someone clicks on it. So essentially that means whichever affiliate pays more per click, they will be a higher rank.
Ive been using Fat Cow and it seeems to be pretty good ,they seem to be winning awards , and the affilate program is pretty well paid
What Is A Affilate Link???
this is right on point, i noticed this right away and im glad your video actually made in between them all on google
Hey, nice video.. great job with exposing these frauds… what do you think about INMOTION hosting ?? i have read a lot of customers, like real customers comments about INMOTION, and they say its good… what about hostgator too ???
In my opinion Just host is the best web hosting company. I don’t have any problems with them. and the live support is good when you need answer for your problems or your qestions
I made the mistake of going with Dreamhost, and they’ve been down 3 times in the last month, and for 4 hours today, which is why I’m here looking for a new site.
@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 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 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 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?
Share your stories here.
@goldduo You certainly should have been refunded for the remainder of your time.
@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 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 “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?
gr8 gr8 gr8, we all must send this video link to all hosts, so they also must know that they r busted busted busted busted.
