Top 10 Best Web Hosting Reviews - SCAMS EXPOSED

Visit http://hosting-reviews-exposed.com for more information.

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?

so who is a good host provider?

Sorry for the late reply, I just sit down to look through comments and it seems youtube is not emailing me every time. At this point there is no host I recommend. I do have tips just go to my blog and do a search for "my top 10" for my tips. Once again sorry for the absurdly late reply.

Is there any host you DO recommend?

I find review sites mostly useless as I had figured out the bias already but even on forums you'll get as many haters as lovers for nearly every hosting service. I'm seriously in a dilemma to choose now.

You act like it's bad to be referred to a company by another person because they make money. but with all due respect isn't that what you are doing? isn't that what all of us do Make money of each other? I'm so sick and tired of people talking bad about affiliate marketers - their jobs are hard and why not throe them a bone - some of them are noble people making a hard living. Many of the top affiliate PAYING hosts are quite frankly very good! I know because me & my clients have tried them.

By doing the same thing, I am telling you to use hosts that I never tried while making a buck? Sorry no that is not what I am doing. Yes I have advertising, and if there is anything I recommend I actually try it (like the kindles) I will not recommend hosts or products for the sake of payment when not even using them.. Or get a payout from those that pay for a fake rating. I have no issues with companies running affiliate programs, just those that lie to make a buck.

You seem to be misinterpreting the intent of this post. He's simply saying don't blindly trust a hosting review site as if they are completely impartial. Rather do your own due diligence. Neither is he saying all affiliate marketers or evil money-grubbers. But rather anyone who is paying a fee to have their service or product listed/reviewed in a positive light cannot necessarily be considered to be objectively reviewed.

The comments show that at least a few among us realize it's a scam. Just like that 1-800 number that claims to show you a list of "only Dentists that we've carefully checked and approved." Approved, my ass. What they approve is the cash each dentist forks out to be on that list. Intelligent people don't fall for such crap.

Almost all review sites, whatever the industry, are shills for the highest bidder. Unfortunately most people are gullible and trust marketing because it's part of our cultural DNA. What's outrageous are those defending these practices without shame. They would never believe such marketing BS themselves but have no trouble supporting such sleazy-dishonest practices because someone is making money. Then again, what else are we to expect from corporate apologists who cheer on con artists as heroes.

startlogic was the worst ever

This video was extremely informative.All this information confirmed what I questioned. I've been researching webhost for a couple weeks, I wanted to make the wise choice of selecting the right one. This is completely new to me however, after checking out many reviews of these webhost on consumer reviews. Common sense, red flag, how can there many so many review sites and none of the ratings matched (2012/2011).

GoDaddy is a total fraud. They deleted one of my websites without any warning and when I asked them to bring it back online they said that I would have to pay for that, even though it was clearly their fault. It seems they do a lot to make a few extra bucks, without any concern for their customers. Once I get my data back (which they're currently holding hostage), I'm switching to another hosting provider, hopefully one that's less shady!
