I don't badmouth another host without reason, but I have seen a lot of negative reviews on this company. They do what they call grid hosting, which is a wonderful new technology, but new being the keyword. Most reviews I have read all say that they don't quite have it together over there yet. I think you're better off looking elsewhere.

Just a couple, might want to look them up at HostingDiscussion.com and WebHostingTalk.com as well.

Thank you CrazyTech for help.

Recently, I've searched many web hosts and often visited some web hosting review/ranking sites, and found there are quite differences in who is the top, who is the good or who is the bad.

Web hosting review/ranking should be a very good way to get a good web host, but I heard complicated things about ranking web hosts---there are money-paid advertising and personal cash bonus, there are not-professional rankings, there are lacks of many hosting customers in ranking web hosts, there are biased judgments, there are web hosting review sites who simply need money first or make money first...

Often feel confused about who is clearly, really good and reliable for a long time.

Friends, please help give more true clues.

Many thanks!

Well here are some clues for trusting the reliable ranking sites:

These sites are generally using affiliate links. Some hosts police this, but most don't. Basically, they create a top 10 list for web hosting providers and they generally include the same providers that have affiliate programs. This can usually be avoided by sticking with the larger review sites that seem to have a lot about a lot of different companies. You can also stick around the various web hosting forums and check those.

Just look for the companies that score well in multiple environments and you should do just fine.

Thanks CrazyTech.

There are many web hosts offering similar, attractive hosting packages. I'll weigh and compare among them, hope to find a really good one.

It's given among 10 top web hosting companies by some review centers, it's one of this.
I'm sure you can get a lot of their reviews on WHT.

Heard both positive and negative feedback, you can't avoid the latter, but that's important to look close into each case of a negative review to know what to expect from them. Are you interested in their dedicated server?

Most ranking sites, don't rank because of uptime and support.

There are ranked on which host can pay the most to get to the top of the list.
