Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to complete the web hosting survey. It’s not to late to send us your feedback, so please, if you can spare five minutes, leave us your comments on your own host and we will credit you here with a link and a mention.

Hostgator – So far the company are scoring very well with very high ratings from users.

One respondent, the webmaster at squidooaffiliatemarketing.com says:

“Their online support is great and their people know what they are talking about. I would like to see a simpler, more user friendly billing information system – it seems to be on another site. I have multiple accounts and appreciate what I can do because of hostgator’s features and reliability.”

The overall rating from this webmaster is a 100% 5 out of 5 stars.

Also from www.randallbishop.net down under in Australia another perfect score of five on each question asked who adds:

“I’ve been with hostgator for a little over a month. I really like their super fast servers. Their support is top notch. 24/7 chat, toll free number, ticket support, and a friendly online forum. I have a small personal website. I’ve only contacted support once concerning a billing issue. (I was updating my credit card)I would definitely recommend hostgator. I plan on being with them long time. Other things I like about hostgator is that you can pay monthly without any ridiculous setup fees like some web hosts charge.

I don’t have an adult site. However, hostgator is one of the few shared host that allow adult content. I spent probably around 100 hours searching for a web host. I always found something in the “terms of service” I didn’t like about other hosts.

People, before choosing any web host. Be sure to read through their “terms of service” carefully. I found a couple of shared host that don’t even allow an mp3 file on their servers!!!! How stupid. One of these host are ranked number one on a lot of affiliate websites. Be careful and do your research.”

BlueHost have also received positive feedback from webmasters including the following comments and ratings from webmasters.

The webmaster at http://getpaidtowriteonline.com rates the company with 4 out of 5 stars overall and sees no reason to change, giving them top marks for reliability and a good 4 out of 5 for support, value and features.

Vlad over at SageBlogger also give the company a good overall 4 out of 5 and says that the only reason for changing hosts in the future would be that the site is soon going to require a dedicated server, unfortunately not available at Bluehost at present. He says: “I really like Bluehost. The time is near where some of my sites will need to be moved to a dedicated box. But I would stay with Bluehost if they ever decide to provide dedicated hosting.”

LiquidWeb – Josh Spaulding at the excellent EZ-Online Money.com says that Liquidweb are quite simply the best host he has ever dealt with. High praise indeed. Josh runs on a dedicated server but Liquidweb do offer shared hosting plans too. Josh docked the company only one point for price/value giving them an overall score of 5/5.

JustHost have received only one response in our survey resulting in a 1/5 from an unhappy webmaster who has this to say:

“Just host sucks cheap it maybe but you get what you pay for apps don’t work and to cancel and try to get your money is painful 5 emails when they finally answer and point you to their cancel url go through seven screens each one times out 3 or 4 times. and maybe just maybe you will get your money back”

This response was from an anonymous webmaster in the UK who says he will be changing hosts as soon as possible due to service issues.

WingSix.com are a not a host we were familiar with but the webmaster at baldydog.com who has had a shared account with them for over three years rates them only 3 out of 5 overall and claims their downfall is service and customer and technical support, for which reason he would decline to recommend them despite competitive pricing. Another customer who states that he will be changing providers in the near future.

WiredTree another firm unknown to us come highly recommended by a commercial blog owner with over 100,000 monthly visitors who hosts on a VPS with the company and sees no reason to change after a year with the company. An overall rating of 5 with only a couple of rating point dropped overall, one for features and one for reliability.

Those are the results so far and we hope they make for interesting reading.
